"Nature's Cathedral" by Christopher Gallegos

Almost about a year ago to date, we went to a wedding for our dear friends in Seattle. The ceremony was on Bainbridge Island, a remote island West of Seattle in a beautiful and remote state park. On the big day, one of our friends took a fantastic photo looking upwards to a grove of Douglas Fir at the base of the altar. It was such a great photo because it was so reminiscent of the incredible time we all shared.

As a wedding present to the new couple, I painted a large scale acrylic painting (25x46) of the very scene, in a floating oak frame made in my school’s woodshop. I appreciate the time it took to get the detail right because it was a great meditation on that incredible time that feels so long ago now
