I think to explain this post, you probably need a little history :) Almost 7 years ago on a cold snowy day, I got married to my best friend & now husband – Ben. We wrote our own vows, but also had a poem read during our wedding. I have always wanted to do something with that poem & when I saw this artwork I was inspired to create this…It is a 16×20 canvas painted with acrylics. I actually used paint & a brush to write out the words, because I wanted the words to have a very raw look (the painting that inspired me is done differently, but still neat). I painted the background a very light pinkish/white. Eventually this is going to hang in our bedroom & I plan on painting the walls a light blue, so I think it will contrast nicely.

Oh & I thought I would share the poem (you might notice I left out the last couple lines, I thought it worked better in art form that way).

Now you will feel no rain
For each of you will be shelter
    To the other.
Now you will feel no cold
For each of you will be warmth
    To the other.
Now you will feel no loneliness
For each of you will be companionship
    To the other.
Now you are two persons
But there is only one life
    Between you.
Go now to your dwelling place
To enter into the days of your life
    Together.
- Native American Wedding Prayer

This was really such an easy project, but I love the results since it is so special to us…
