How the process works

“Patrick does such a great job. He is extremely talented and pours his heart into his work and it shows. He captured every detail I wanted him to and more. The final product is so alive. He took my ideas, ran with them, and made it better than I could have ever imagined. Like others have said in their reviews, we get so many compliments on the beautiful work of art that he created. It is polished yet rustic; subtle and significant. It fits perfectly in our home. Thank you Patrick for delivering for our family!”

Choose a Scene to Capture

Do you want to capture the excitement of leaving the altar as a new married couple? Or reveling in the first romantic dance?  The two of you sharing a moment, overlooking the gorgeous landscape?  I enjoy helping couples describe their vision. Fun and easy is how we will collaborate to make your painting a treasure that reflects you and your beautiful wedding day.

We will confirm all of your decisions and information with a questionnaire after our phone consultation. We bring our creativity and artistic touches to your ideas as we collaborate together.

Watch me work

I welcome you and your guests to engage with me while I'm working, adding elegant and fun entertainment to your wedding. There is something mesmerizing about watching an artist start with a few sketchy lines on a canvas, then–almost magically–figures and scenes appear from these first simple sketchy lines. Pushing the painting further, figures become recognizable and the color and beauty of the venue and landscape come into view. Your painting is complete when all the details are added to express all the joy and excitement of your wedding day.

Studio time

Back at the studio, I will refine the details of your beautiful attire and the overall feeling that your day radiates. Color will be heightened throughout the painting. Details will be given to the wedding couple, other guests will be completed in impressionistic style.

After the painting has dried, I will expertly prepare your artwork for quick and easy hanging. Your painting will then be wrapped in archival glassine paper to protect it for shipping or hand delivery.

Enjoy your one-of-a-kind piece

Enjoy your painting for years to come. I use only high-quality painting materials on archival linen canvas. Your painting becomes part of your family's history and can adorn a wall wherever you live. Oil paintings are not only timeless, but they last for future generations.
