One of the “can’t miss” things about being stationed in Korea is having a custom oil painting made.

This is the gentleman that works at Osan and there’s one at Humphreys, too.

They each work the same way…painting from your photos – be it a whole family portrait or combining all your wallet-sized school photos into one image.

And they each use magnifying glasses to be able to see all the really fine detail.

The prices aren’t bad…for 2 people it can run $160 US for a 15 x 18 to $410 US for a 24 x 36.

Of course, if you have more background detail or want the whole body included there’s an extra charge.

And while I don’t have the money at the moment, I’d like to start saving to have one of our wedding photos painted.

But I’m not sure which one. So what do you think? Which would you choose?…

The kiss on the moon bridge?

(We married at the Japanese Gardens in Fort Worth, TX – my favorite place in the world – in October just so all the maples would be beautiful reds & golds…but none of the leaves had turned in time.)

Or…

The upclose one of us?

Granted – the kiss shot I’d do in a larger size, and the upclose smaller – because we don’t need to see ourselves supersized on the wall.

But again, it’s just one of those things not to not do while you’re here.
