One of the things I enjoy the most is making commission work. It gets me all nervous and excited at the same time. So far I have been given fairly loose briefs and left to run with it. Amazing! How do these people trust me with their budget?! Oh the pressure... I would be devastated if they hated it.
So, after a lot of hmm'ing and ha'ing I came up with this canvas. The brief: have the words "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance in the rain" and for it not to be too girly as it was a wedding present.
A little detail on the back with their wedding date.

What a beautiful present to get. Perfect for two people who are going to live in the storms and rainy days a marriage sometimes gives. :)
I would also have trusted you with my budget any day... :)
Love it! Seeing your other work I think it's easy to trust your judgement - everything always comes out so wonderful.
This is beautiful! I would love to commission an art piece some day!
Lovely Annabelle!
One of my favourite sayings is 'Enjoy dancing in the rain' I love this you clever lady!
