"Waiting at a Wedding", 24"x16", NFS

This is based on photos taken at the Orvieto Duomo in Italy one Saturday morning.  I was site-seeing while a wedding was taking place at the duomo.  The colors were gorgeous and the children in the party were so cute.  I had to incorporate them into a painting!
