So I winnowed the sketches down to nine. I'm sending the suite of nine drawings to the bride and groom, with color copies to her parents.
I have two more big items to cross off my list before being able to get back to my watery paintings: making illustrations for a foodlovers' guide to my area and selecting images and writing about myself in response to a request from a BEAUTIFUL magazine that will be featuring Laurelines in its fall issue! More about both later---don't want to queer either deal. (So forget what you just read until both are faits accomplis ;D.)
For images of another beautiful Savannah wedding, please go to my dear friend Tara Bradford's blog Paris Parfait. Her gorgeous daughter Jordana was married there last week!
The last one, with those trees, is just how I imagine Savannah. Wow.

Thank you so much, kind people! Owen, I broke the inhibition barrier a good long while ago. I'll bet you will, too!

Great lines and I love your selection of colors! :) A lot of blue and a lot of green. They all look so fresh and new, and more importantly relaxed and happy. ^^ Wonderful sketches!

Everyone else has said how lovely the drawings are and, they are. I want to say something else. You've got nerve, in a good way, boldness, creative juice that's got to find a way out and isn't inhibited like, quite frankly, I am. I would have "wanted" to take my drawing stuff to the wedding but I would have bailed out. Good on you. I hope to get there sooner than later.
