Wedding Portrait

You can add or omit a lot to a drawing and nobody will ever find out. Most of my images are faithful depictions of a witnessed scene, down to the lighting conditions. There may be landscape elements glazed over or pushed forward. Proportions are sometimes fudged. Characters may become composites of several people, but the final results aren't that far from reality. The things you don't see in this drawing: it was actually drizzling that day; the bridesmaid and the best man were holding umbrellas and there was nobody else in the party to be photographed. It was a private, happy moment in the rain.
