It was a pleasure being part of a lot of exciting Secret Mission Projects organised by friends and colleagues in the past five months. This blog post is all about the idea of portraiting LOVE :)!!!
Portraiting someone means more than trying to carve out his or her “look”. It means to reflect the person and his/her personality, to turn chracteristics out – to bring the person inside alive on paper.
First couple: Remember my friend Daniel who invited me to his Zoom Drawing Group from time to time? I wrote about those meetings in an earlier post. He and his wife moved to Southern Germany in August, 2021. Due to the pandemic, we couldn’t celebrate a big goodbye party for them, but we did our best to make them an individual Goodbye-Daniel-and-Anne-Present including their portrait card with an IKEA voucher and the signings of all their dear friends – here they come:
Second couple: Tamara and Uwe. I know them for 14 years now and Tamara has always been a dear and special friend to me – in good times and in bad times, you know what I mean, Sweetheart ;)! In June of 2020, we were invited to celebrate their 15th anniversary and to have a great party all together – but they had to cancel the event because of the tightened pandemic restrictions. The following card was handed over after their 16th anniversary this year in July, so I just added a “+” to the 15 as a symbol for an everlasting happy marriage – wishing that for you two lucky lovers :)!!!!
Third couple: The youngsters in my quartette 🙂 – Anastasia and Mario. They got married in October and invited us together with other +300 (!) guests via videoconference – for Thomas and me, our first Zoom Wedding this year – really exciting! We are glad to see you so happy together – fĂ©licitations Ă vous deux <3!
Fourth couple: Thomas’ best friend and best man on our wedding – Andrzej with his wife Renata. They had their 7th anniversary in October as well (in German we call that “Das verflixte 7. Jahr” like “the seven-year itch”). For us, they make an examplary dream team – could be brother and sister, but are best friends and lovers. We will never forget all those special moments with you, love you guys ❤ ❤ ❤
