So two of my best friends just got engaged and I thought I'd paint them a portrait as an engagement present - plus it was motivating me to paint again which is huge. I'd stopped for a bit, but that's another story.
Anyway, here it is... forgive my crappy cell phone camera pics. Makes things look weird, I'm hoping they'll take a pic with their decent camera for me. It's based off of a picture taken at a wedding we all went to, where they're standing in front of a stained glass window.

Very impressive. I have a friend who has a similar style of painting when it comes to mural type work.
You are an artist. You need to find a way to be an artist professionally.

Aww, thanks!
I still want to commission a painting.

I'm getting back in painting mode. So it's definitely an option.
