New Ketubah Scroll Completed

I am thrilled to share my latest completed art commission. Jennifer and David found my web site Rosenthal Ketubahs,

http://rozenart.wix.com/RosenthalKetubahs.

They called and made an appointment to

meet at my studio. After a pleasant lunch we

discussed all of their details regarding their

wedding. I already had some ideas but their

input was important. We agreed on a contract

which was acceptable for all of us. I did a few quick sketches

and the project was on its way. Here is the final

art 23"x47", hand ground Chinese ink on silk

mounted on silk. The wedding vows are in English and

Hebrew. Chinese calligraphy "Double Happiness"

Their wedding will take place at the Chinese

Scholars Garden in Snug Harbor, Staten Island.

The painting brings elements of traditional

heritages reflecting both partners.

The shape of the vows are a floating Chinese

Lantern beneath a shimmering full moon.
