Portraits and Love Stories

So a childhood friend of mine asked me if I could paint something for her home in New York. She wanted a portrait of her husband and herself. I have not seen her since school and I have never met her husband, so I relied on their Facebook albums to paint this. I felt like such a stalker. But since I got Naimeesha's permission, I did not feel like a serial killer.

 So she gave me a list of colours that would work with her home. I then asked her for a list of things she and her husband loved. I put everything together and created this.



I tried to incorporate everything they loved into one painting.
Their love for New York, TV, the rain, flowers in the hair.....
Naimeesha and Kamesh seem like such a cute couple and I hope I have done some justice with this painting.
