Drawing my husband by candlelight.

We went to a birthday party at a really lovely club, only to find that we had missed the party by one night.D by Suzanne Forbes September-30-2016 However, there was piano music and candlelight, and I made this pretty drawing of the hubbin, so it was a net win.

My very best wedding drawings yet!

As my health and well-being has increased here in Berlin, so have my drawing skills. These are some of the best, most warmly human likenesses I’ve achieved.

I’m so grateful to continue recovering my health and to be able to make work at events like this one. A wedding is as high-pressure an event as my old work as a courtroom artist was- you only get one shot!

I do have a rough sketch of the bride and groom I’m planning to finish up later 🙂

Lou and Peter Berryman by Suzanne ForbesThese folks performing are Madison, Wisconsin folk artists Lou and Peter Berryman, who actually wrote a song for the bride and groom; it was delightful!

Here are some of my previous wedding drawings and a post-wedding couple portrait.
