The Painting? "the First Dance, 1884 Americana." The Idea For The Painting, Begun As A Sketchbook Drawing Years Ago, Had Taken Years To Come To Fruition. In Addition To Finding The Perfect Models, Costumes And Composition, Morgan Did Not Want To Begin On The Painting Until He Could Give It His Full Concentration. Finally, One Day Last Year, He Began To Create What John Geraghty Described In "western Art Collector" As "his Signature Work, An Absolute Master Work." Why Paint A Wedding?
