Description
On a recent wedding I photographed, the bride was getting ready and I placed her gown partly on a cute standing mirror. The bride's face is reflecting in the mirror as well. These two combined captivated me to try my painting hand at a wedding-type scene like this.

Why digital and not "real"? I am a "green" artist. I had my share of oil and tempera (my favorite mediums) for a number of years in my youth but as my children were born I realized how much toxic materials I am working with! I now paint nearly exclusively digitally. The effect is nearly the same without harming the environment as intensely as oil paint does. I also prefer to not kill trees if I don't have to. I hope you agree that art remains art regardless if digital or oil on canvas or paper.

I love this image, the excitement, and the thrill of the celebration that is about to begin. Very moving.

Thanks Randi! The person in the mirror is actually the bride about to jump into her gown! :)
