"Morning Star" is a painting in which I wanted to capture the bride, Cara, within the sitting room, using the background and furnishings to inform the composition. I painted loosely, suggesting the folds in the fabric and used gestural strokes to add a light feeling of freshness to the figure. I did not want to paint in an over detailed way on the face as I felt the simple profile turned to the light needed simplicity.
