I have had the opportunity to work on a few paintings. I finished the painting I was working on as a gift to my friend, but I won't get to deliver it until Wednesday. I will see if he minds me posting pics once he has seen it. After I finished and framed that one, I started on my very first commissioned piece! This is a portrait of a little girl and her puppy. They are adorable and I have had a blast painting them! I am almost done; tomorrow I want to spend some time making the puppy a little more 3-D. That will be accomplished with proper shading and making sure the hair (it looks like a Maltese to me, so yes, hair) is laying in the proper directions. This is a white dog - I never thought about how difficult it is to paint a white animal!
Next up is another commissioned piece which is to be a surprise for the subject of the portrait. Enough said about that! :)
I have a few other commissions in the works, and I am always ready to consider more. I am working with a highly skilled photographer until I get better lenses for my camera, and hopefully for longer, so we will be sure to have photos to work from which have good light and appropriate composition and detail.
I am LOVING my job!!! Have a blessed week!
