Last weekend I traveled down to San Diego to Point Loma at the Cabrillo National Monument http://www.nps.gov/archive/cabr/lighthouse.html to paint a wedding ceremony taking place on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
This was the spot as it looked when I arrived an hour and a half before the start of the ceremony. Literally-- a cliff overlooking the ocean, 400 feet below.
Here is the historic lighthouse, which the groom asked me to render with a glow coming from the light, representing their love for one another.
A crowd of several dozen gathered around to witness the exchange of vows.
It was a lovely ceremony in its casual simplicity, decorated with sunflowers-- my favorite!
The reception was held at a private residence, where I finished the painting. With the paint still wet and the flash of my camera, I wasn't able to capture the painting without a glare, but you can get the idea. The bride and groom were very happy with it, which made me very happy!
