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. 
we should have kept the quote pyramid up to rape Jessie in the face.

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