Commission Time

I have just recently finish a commission for a lovely new friend. It will be give to her husband as a Father's Day gift. There is absolutely no way he reads my blog, so I can share early. I had them professionally photographed this past week, which made it much easier to hand them over to her yesterday, after the kids had colored a portfolio to put them in.

She is having them framed, and I am so excited, because she let me help her choose the frames. Then she took me to lunch afterwards. I think I am enjoying this process.

She is thrilled with the final product, and will be placing them over her couch. I will have access to photograph them in their resting place in a couple of months.

This is my ticket to Michael's workshop in Mexico.

They do not need much explanation:



Klein Residence 22" x 30" watercolor on Arches 140 lb.

Sandy - I was a little nervous to "dive" into doing that pool, but I had an image in mind and it was helpful that the reflections were really great that day.
Thank you for stopping by.

Felicity = Thank you Felicity.
What I do know is that he will be thrilled because his wife is thrilled. Anything she loves he loves, so I believe it is a winner.
Can't wait to see them framed.
