I bought this canvas at least three months ago with intentions to cover it in fabric as a headboard in our room. But then every time I shopped for fabric nothing spoke to me ( what, you've never had fabric speak to you?) So it sat in my kitchen since then, just waiting for inspire to strike. And then it did. I was telling a friend a story about our wedding vows and how much I loved what we said during the ring exchange. Those words stuck in my head for days and I spent a few times daydreaming ideas of how to incorporate them into the piece. A few days later it became clear, they weren't a part of the art, they were the art.
I shopped for the paint colors and quickly got to work with the help of my sweet friend Jill. Being able to free hand the words made it very easy to get it done in one afternoon.
Here is the finished product, forever reminding us that our wedding rings are a pledge that we have chosen one another above all others.
