Holy Ground - Wedding Joy

Country Pavilion, L. Daniel, 9 x 12, NFS

I painted this wonderful old, rock pavilion last fall after my daughter chose it as her marriage site. Last Saturday was her wedding day and she married the love of her life. I felt as if I was on holy ground as they exchanged vows and committed the rest of their lives to one another. It was truly a magical time.


Many of you have sent me kind notes of congratulations - thank you so, so much. Here are a few pictures of the beautiful day...

Happy Bride and Groom.

Country Pavilion

Country Pavilion, L. Daniel, 9 x 12

This wonderful pavilion is in the countryside south of Austin and was the location of our paintout this week. It is beautiful with rolling grass lands, a creek, and huge trees; the structure has a wonderful, well-loved patina.

AND, this is where my daughter will be getting married next June, so it's especially significant to me!! She will actually walk under this arbor and through the pavilion on her way to the ceremony which will be held at the creek side. It's going to be a beautiful, happy time.
