One wedding gift ready to go!! The state of Louisiana, where they reside and will be married. I did the sunset because of it setting on the past OR a sunrise on a new era in life, depending on how you look at it. The two dead/dying trees in the background represent the two individuals dying off to become one new, big beautiful relationship, the big new tree in the foreground. The gold flake heart has two African-American ladies in homage to their culture, in a heart representing their love, and magnolias, the state flower. NOBODY will have that heart unless they have the same idea!! I made it especially for them!! I think it came out pretty vibrant and I like it. Hopefully, they will too!!

.... This is an idea that got me started with gold leaf lettering on canvas. After working through more than a half dozen canvases.....I FINALLY figured it out!!!!🤦‍♂️ You can learn how to do a knee or hip replacement on YouTube, if you so desire!! You can ALSO learn how to gold leaf an entire canvas and paint flowers and such on it. BUT IF you want to just do gold leaf lettering and/or accents.....YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!!!!🤷🏻‍♂️ But I worked over it like a dog with a bone....and eventually, I figured it out!!!!! The problem is that the glue used for the gold leaf runs and a canvas has little dimples everywhere!! THAT'S a bad combination and getting crisp letters is IMPOSSIBLE!!!! I also wanted to use different "Christmassy" colors for the steam. I see some changes that I'll be making in the future when I paint this again....but overall, I'm happy to get it all worked out!!!!👍🏻

Something I was playing with....I'm going to put some of these out, different scenes and only one or two gold leafed accents so they can be larger.
