I worked directly from a photograph, except for some minor changes that I made to the background. The colors in the photograph were already so beautiful, as was the light. So I was excited to paint this to begin with. It's not that often that a commission uses a reference that is so lovely to start out with. This painting is listed under "Paintings" in the Art Index. The size and medium are included there.
I've included the original photograph underneath the painting.
