For Kim and her Welshman

One year and a month ago my very dear friend Kim got married to a handsome Welshman. They finally shut the door to long distance dating and were married at Orton Plantation right outside of Wilmington, NC on September 13, 2009. A gorgeous wedding for two gorgeous people.

Kim and I grew up together, went to Sunday school, youth trips, high school and college together. In 5th grade it was hilarious getting in trouble together and at twenty-five years old it was heart warming being her bridesmaid on her wedding day.

When it came time to buy a wedding gift for the newlyweds, I knew painting a custom painting for their new home was what I wanted to do... a cutting board, new sheets, towels or a blender just wasn't quite right to represent our friendship.

Kim and the handsome Welshman had to wait months and months for its completion (you can't rush great art... right?) and then one happy day I delivered it myself to their home in Raleigh, NC.
