"A Couple to Remember" is a very special painting that was commissioned by a close friend of Eric's. It was a surprise wedding gift presented to his bride at their reception. This painting tells the story of their romantic engagement which began with a proposal at the Lone Cypress on 17 Mile Drive, near Carmel California; notice the postcard of the “lone cypress” on the desk reflected in the two wine glasses. An excursion to the Napa Valley rounded out that special California trip with a visit to the bride’s favorite winery “Paraduxx” with the two bottles depicted in the painting. The subtle suggestion of repeating (2’s) in the composition is where the painting gets its name. Eric’s inclusion of the flowers from the bride’s wedding bouquet and the wedding rings make this painting a very special one for this couple for many years to come.
