Wedding
My wife and I attended a wedding this past Sunday. One of my Eagle scouts married a beautiful young woman. I get bored when I have to sit still, so I sketched. I made this painting from the sketches.

Very nice!
I have always wished I could draw and paint. Strangely enough my painting talent comes in the form of cars and body work it can be like sculpting and I am proud of my work.... but I have never had the ability to sketch and make a painting that looked anything like what I saw. You do very well
The title is so appropriate. I like the painting a lot. You are so talented that you can do something so special in a matter of minutes and save the memory of colors to add on later. Great job.
Wow! What a beautiful painting! What a special thing to do while you were bored! It will make a precious gift and memory for the happy couple!
See...you are more mature than I am! When I get bored from having to sit still, I say and do silly things to get the people around me laughing, which is not good...especially in meetings, at weddings, and at funerals. :-O
HUGS!!!
RYC ; At seeing your painting,John, Renoir immediately came to my mind. This proves, in fact, that I have a fairly accurate perception and you have a lot of talent.

Your painting makes me think of some works of the painter Auguste Renoir.

for instance the bal of the moulin of the galette or boating luncheon etc ..

Turning the lemons of boredom into sweet lemonade- beautiful.
I like the colors.
beautiful ~
Excellent! Will you be gifting the young couple with the painting as part of their wedding present?
I love your paiting and perfect title.
Very nice! Are you going to give it to the couple?
It seems they had a lovely autumn day for an outdoor wedding. I wonder why it seems there is one less female attendant than males. (I understand one of the males is the groom).
This would make a lovely wedding gift, a unique remembrance of their special day.
