Live wedding painting, happy laughing senior couple

close-up quick portrait of laughing senior wedding couple, holding hands. Background is greenhouse

Amsterdam, the Netherlands

This cute and colourful wedding couple celebrated their marriage in Amsterdam. I picked one of the many moments from their ceremony where they were being genuine and authentic, laughing out loud. There was lots of live music during their wedding day, as they make music together as well.

I am based in the Netherlands and travel all over Europe to paint live at fun, gorgeous, exceptional (destination) weddings. This canvas is 60 by 40 cm and it was completed after slightly over 6 hours of painting on location. My style is romantic and realistic and this is a good example of a bit more impressionistic, quick take. See below for some pictures from the painting process.
