Raja
pet kid
commissioned
Raja is a kitty that has passed on to kitty heaven. I did this commission for a dear friend who loved her dearly! These are important portraits for me, they are a tribute...they make me smile, and cry and remember how important life is in all forms! I loved her coloring all ready, but as is my style, I play with color (all except the eyes)...it's the fun part of being an artist!
Sasha
pet kid
commission
Sasha is the pet kid of a gentleman who owns a business up here in Conifer. She was commissioned by Raja's mom as a gift, so I try to say very little...no giving away surprises!! :) I love this dog...she poses for pics...she's a sweetie pie for sure!
This is an unusual but fun time of year for me...I spend a lot of time on commissions and gifts that make it look like I'm not doing anything, when in fact, it's one of the busiest times of year for me. I just don't post a lot of them as folks who are recipients of the gifts might see! It is after the holidays that I start back on the main body of my work...so hang on! :)
I've been really busy creating canvas baskets and affirmation ornaments for classes and such...below are just a few of what I've done.
and, a couple more commissions...
My son-in-law LOVES the Huskers...doing a helmet was my daughter's idea...so that is next for my easel...and one that is very important, that I will probably cry through, but I'm honored to do it...My co-grandma's father passed away recently. She took this photo of her holding her dad's hand...my sweet daughter thought it might be a good gift for her this year, so this will be a blessing painting!
SO, as you can see, busy days here in my studio! I love this time of year for the gifts and commissions I am honored to do, and know that soon I will be back at my easel with my mixed media paintings...some of which I've already started! I hope this year finds you able to do blessings in whatever creative way is YOUR way!
KEEP THE INSPIRATION IN YOUR HEART!!
