“L-O-V-E Landscape”

I’ve been painting various gifts this summer including a few to give as wedding gifts.

Below is a photo of one of the wedding gifts I painted to give to the daughter of my husband’s cousin who lives in the country with lots and lots of beautiful land.  


Many years back when I first got on social media, my husband’s cousin posted this wonderful photo of how her family had been mowing the grass on part of their big spread of land to carve out the word “LOVE”.  It was from so many years ago that I remembered seeing the photo shared that I imagine the bride was still a pretty young girl at the time.


The photo of their mowed “L-O-V-E” land from so many years back impressed me as so wonderful at the time that when we received a wedding invite from that family for this summer, the memory of it just popped in my mind and I thought to go dig back and find a picture of it to recreate a painting of the scene as a surprise wedding gift for the young bride and her groom.
