Engagement Portrait: John Michael & Victoria

IMG_3851.jpg

John Michael's mother commissioned this portrait of him and his new wife Victoria, as a wedding gift.  I always enjoy drawing people I know well because I can really see whether or not the drawing captures their true likeness. John Michael was a great childhood friend and I am so pleased to hear he has found such a lovely person.  I've been keeping this portrait under wraps for quite some time, since it was a surprise, so I'm excited to finally share the process, as well as the finished product.  Congratulations old friend :)
