Little Farmhouse

What makes a great wedding gift? Artwork of course! The hunt to get a source picture proved to be a bit of a challenge. The trusty nephew forgot to snap a photo. Really? The owners texted photos showing their new prize possession, a 100-year-old farmhouse. But unfortunately, the snapshots did not have the right viewpoint. We wanted to keep it a secret that I was painting a picture with soft pastels on Ampersand Board.

It took a trip to end the photoshoot dilemma. The weather held out for one perfect afternoon when the sun was hitting just right. The photo lined up with the artist’s expected viewpoint. I found a great weathered wooden black and blue colored frame to hold the painting when it was complete.

By the way, the weather also held out for a sunny fall afternoon wedding. It was a clear but somewhat chilly outdoor ceremony. You can find this farmhouse in a rural area of Michigan. Although the owners no longer own the house, they have a painting and many memories of their first home together.
