After college graduation I did not have a job, so I registered for language immersion classes in Sweden. I spend weekends traveling throughtout Scandinavia by rail. I had plenty of time, but not a lot of money, so I filled my days of tourism with a lot of people watching. I found a lovely little bluff near a church in Oslo, Norway, where I painted this archway. A wedding began and finished while I sat on my perch and painted, watching people come and go. This piece was done en plein air, so the proportions are not perfect. I like looking back at this and thinking about that moment.
