A One-Year Anniversary Gift Full of Meaning
This impressionistic painting was commissioned by the groom’s parents to celebrate their son and daughter-in-law’s first year of marriage. Set among the trees with the warm glow of a Texas sunset, the couple is captured in an embrace, the light filtering beautifully through the bride’s delicate veil.
A meaningful detail in this piece is the wooden cross—a special symbol that stood at the altar during their ceremony. Built just for the wedding, it now stands on their ranch and holds deep significance for the couple. I was honored to incorporate it into the scene, preserving the memory in paint.
Commissioning a piece like this allows families to transform a treasured moment into lasting, expressive art.
