This painting, an oil on canvas, depicts my friend Kayla. For as long as I can remember, I have dreamed of finding my Prince Charming, and when I had finished this painting I felt like those dreams shone through the piece. I saw a young girl wearing her wedding veil, eagerly awaiting the arrival of her own Prince Charming. In that way, it’s a self portrait.
This painting is uniquely special to me because when I had my senior art exhibition in college, this painting was in it. My closest friend Emily had come that day to be with me on one of the biggest days of my life. She fell in love with this painting and so her parents bought it from me to give to her as a graduation gift. It meant a lot to me that their gift to her was something that came out of my soul, and it meant a lot to me that Emily loved something I had made.
