Tomorrow I leave for Savannah. A friend's daughter is getting married---and this daughter is someone many of you know about. Who could it be???
I will probably only sketch the historic neighborhood, the garden where the wedding will take place, the decor at the site, and the activity leading up to the ceremony. I don't want to be a distraction at the moment when the solemn vows are exchanged.
Though this sketch is from my recent trip to Santa Barbara, the wisteria-dripping column looks very Savannah garden wedding, don't you think? I'll post the sketches here before giving them to the bride and groom. Hope they're passable!
Next week, it's back to painting water! Oh, unless my stepdaughter has her baby early. Then it'll be all hands on deck with big brother and new little sister!
Thanks, buddies! The wisteria was long gone, but the drippiness was abundantly provided, of course, by Spanish moss. I had such a blast at the wedding---come back for more sketches!

I bet I know whose wedding that is--that's fabulous, Laura. This painting is so springy, and such soft hues--very lovely. Have fun at the wedding!
