At The Bench

A commission from last year. It started out with a friendly conversation with Matt and his dad.

Matt had just proposed at Heisler Park at this bench.

Matt wanted to make sure I put the bench in the painting. I did everything I could to change his mind. 

He insisted and I put the bench into the painting.

The bench in question.
