John's Birthday

Recently a sweet friend commissioned me to paint a portrait of her husband for his 80th birthday.  What an honor. It was presented to him at his surprise party.  He didn't know what to say bless his heart.  He had family here from all over the world and a beautiful celebration. Bill and I were happy to be a part of it.

Little Lance

Here's my latest painting commission.  Lance's sweet little face was such a joy to paint.  His Dad wanted him standing on the tracks...kind of scary huh!  The composition was a little tricky.  I learn a bit each time I do a painting.  This time perspective was a challenge as well as form...then there's always the warm and cool shadows...so many things to think about when you paint a piece. I suppose this will end up being a New Year's present.  Dr. Harris picked it up today.  Can't wait to hear what his wife thought of it and to see it framed in that new home they're planning!
