I painted this from a source photo snapped at our wedding. It was one of my favorite photos taken from the day, captured in black and white. When I painted this, I made up all the colors since the source photo was gray scale.

This was a moment shortly after our wedding ceremony. We were heading down to the beach to take some photographs and Matthew was helping me down the steps.

The Betsy Ross House (http://www.betsyrosshouse.org/) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania begged for me to paint her. This is the type of building I really enjoy painting. It is small, quirky and charming. I enjoyed painting the bricks, each a different color. Sometimes I am pleased that this painting is not properly proportioned, and other times I am bothered by these imperfections.
