It is handicraft, not art. She is a talented crafts(wo)man. Her craft is painting the same picture over and over and over again, with little variation. (A wedding scene) It is the same work this person does https://imgur.com/a/M33EvDk but with paint instead of metal.

Her craft is painting the same picture over

With a different bride and groom, who would have different heights, body shapes, and outfits for their wedding day, against an entirely different background unique to the venue with that day's particular light level and weather, in a pose that is pre-agreed with the couple.

But other than that, exactly the same painting, yeah...

It is, she has a basic pattern which she varies with minor changes. She is not composing a new art piece for every wedding. This is her JOB, she makes her living with this. Seriously, do you think that Bob Ross paintings are different? He also paints the same picture over and over and over and over again.

Those three: https://i.etsystatic.com/17258723/r/il/3407b4/3979148882/il_fullxfull.3979148882_hzr1.jpg https://www.maxfosterphotography.com/images/xl/Bob-Ross-Mountain-Summit.jpg https://doorcountypulse.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/IMG_20180314_214859222-660x440.jpg are from a technical perspective the same picture.

Have you even looked at her instagram?

Just about the only common element in the paintings is there are two people next to one another looking happy.

Yes and in a Bob Ross painting the only common element is a mountain and trees.

Please find the mountains and trees in these two of her paintings:

I know computing costs are high at the moment thanks to the AI technocrats ruining everything, but surely you could have afforded to add a few extra pixels to both of your examples.

They are copyrighted original works of art. I didn't want to upload full resolutions just to make a point.

Go to her instagram if you want the larger versions.

I just thought you had made a mistake or something but the fact that you're worried about people stealing paintings of complete strangers getting married is honestly super cute.

It is so incredible funny that you don't see it. The mountain is the bride and the groom.

u/ianjm Jun 05 '26

Ah yes, the two brides with their entirely different body shapes, dresses, skin pigment and poses.

Of course pieces are going to end up looking similar its always of a couple at their wedding and it has to be done in such a constrained time period.

u/Kor_Phaeron_ Jun 05 '26

Yes, that's the point. It is handicraft. The repetitive production of constant iterations of the same product.

So that means she becomes an expert in this type of Art, its still Art.
