For Gabby and Justin...

S&D Art Request, for Gabby and Justin: Hashkiveinu, peace prayer - Left [1st of 2] and Right [2nd of 2]

 
​Dear Gabby and Justin,
To celebrate you and your wedding, your connections with friends, families, and faith, the process of creating this art request was guided by the love of our mutual friends, Sydney and Delilah. It was their love for you and their wish for me to create art for you that inspired me to envision not just one, but rather two side-by-side pieces, created simultaneously with all of you in mind. 

Sydney & Delilah, Gabby & Justin, Friends & Families
S & D art request, Gabby & Justin [wed September 2025]
Hashkiveinu, peace prayer - Left [1st of 2] & Right [2nd of 2] 

From the photographs of you that Sydney and Delilah shared with me
the proposal: Gabby holding the umbrella and Justin down on bended knee
the engagement: white dress, sunglasses, a dapper main squeeze
I began painting with a grounded belief in the significance of
a collective love for one another as friends, families, and yet-to-be friends
the kind of love that embraces and inspires growth
and I am grateful to know that you are in my life.
Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this special moment.
My wish for continued good health, happiness, love and peace for each of you,
together for both of you, and for the ones you cherish dearly.
Kindly yours, Grace
