AW: Wedding/Birthday Gift
So, a friend from my grad program is a very talented artist. I've admired her work since I met her, and I told her I'd love to own an original piece of hers someday.
Well, for my wedding/birthday gift, she gave me the following (which she did the framing for as well!):

Here's a close-up of the painting itself:

And, a really cool detail -- she actually collaged in parts of our ceremony program text and cover into the painting:

She did it based on a photograph she took at the wedding. She also did a plain watercolor (without the collage/frame) which she gave to my mom.

OMG! this is amazing! Love it! Awesome friend.
She could make a killing doing these on Etsy based on people's wedding photos.?
Beautiful. What a perfect gift. I love that she used parts of your program as well. I want one!
