Family Dewar

I am so excited about this!


These beautiful pen and ink paintings I commissioned the wonderful artist Bea Brouwer to produce to celebrate our second wedding anniversary
 

I stumbled across Bea's enchanting drawings as I work with her sister who was proudly sharing Bea's latest work one day.


I love the way Bea captures both the likeness and the energy of her subjects.


It was the perfect gift for our anniversary and commissioning the work was so easy. Bea simply used my Instagram uploads alongside some additional photos I emailed to come up with the two final drawings.


I love the contrast of the 'sensible' portrait with the 'true-to-life' jumping for joy moment.


Bea very generously shared some of the rough sketches as well as the final paintings. Now to find the perfect frame...


Bea's work can also be found on Instagram.
