The Bride and Groom


Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery


This is a drawing I recently completed of my daughter and son-in-law. I worked from a photograph they particularly like that was taken on their wedding day. At first I wasn't happy with this pose because their eyes are downcast. But now, after working on it for several weeks, I love it. The quote above captures their relationship perfectly. They are remarkably suited for each other and very much in love. I think this drawing captures that and also reflects how happy they are together.
