Live Wedding Painting

• I've just received photos of a live wedding painting I completed at the amazing Lookout Lodge near Wanaka. It was the first time I've attempted such an exciting, nerve wracking painting challenge but it was a lot of fun and more importantly the bride and groom loved the finished result. Painted and framed in 1.5 hours in hot, windy conditions and on display for the festivities. Many thanks to Krystina and Trevor for encouraging me to give it a go. Here's some of the pics from the big day.
