I visited St. Paul one crisp winter night, right before Christmas.  There was an adorable young couple kissing in Rice Park.  I went up to them and asked permission if I could take some photos of them for a painting.  They happily agreed.  Turns out they had just gotten engaged minutes earlier!  So, they let me help their friend pose their engagement photo shoots, and in return I got the cutest models for my reference photos.  This is the painting that I made as a result of those photos. This setting is on the steps of the Landmark Center in St. Paul.  I didn’t get the contact of those two young kids to send them the final result, but I hope that our universes collide again somehow.
