THE STARTING POINT

Original proposal photograph: a couple holds hands before a carved stone arch, with garden greenery behind them.
Original photograph

FROM PHOTO TO ART

On this day, forever
found a shape of its own.

On the proposal day, the couple held hands for a photograph beneath a stone arch. The painting draws attention from the surrounding architecture to their expressions and hands, retaining the arch and sculpture so both the people and place are remembered.

Take a closer look

A deep blue jacket and white dress form a clear contrast, centring expressions and joined hands. The arch, sculpture and greenery surround them; warm brushwork reorganises the architecture and keeps the place within the memory.

If this were your story

Begin with a proposal photograph, a meaningful place or the way you hold hands. Discuss expressions, background and palette to keep the beginning of shared life in a painting.

Let this story become part of everyday life.

Keep that meaningful day in a place you will pass together in the years ahead.

Joined hands, the days to come

Between deep blue and white clothing, joined hands keep an intimate connection; brushwork in the fabric follows their poses.
