"Purity" Commission

Commission for my optometrist. Took me about 2 cumulative weeks including research, sketches, painting, and framing.

Shot of it hanging in his office lounge. He has decided to get it reframed with a large matte to make it look bigger and stand out.

Getting closer...I put a label up and left business cards with him should anyone be curious :)

Close-up of my girl. He chose the colors, requested "drips" and I went to town :) The dress is layers upon layers of watercolor, but I think it turned out well in the end!

As it's just finished, before I framed it at home.

The buyer also put in a request for another one the day I delivered it to him, as everyone (myself included) feels the wall is too big for just this little gal. So another one is on the way that will match in color and style, as well as composition (only opposite), yet with new elements and imagery.

Stay tuned!!

"Alisha Star" Commission Piece (Set of 4)

Hi all! I know it's been awhile, but I've been going crazy with work! Mostly graphic design work with the end of Spring term, but also several commissions!

Here is the first one, second one coming in a week!

I did this for a friend who liked "Lattice" from the Naam. She chose her colors, likes stars, and away I went! This piece can work horizontal or vertical, and is a set of 4 8"x8" canvases.

View from the side. Each piece had the elements spilling over to all 4 sides.

All together in a row! I actually think I like it seen from the other way around, but this is how I painted it.

Close-ups, from Right to Left. Canvas 1&2...

Canvases 2&3...

And canvases 3&4. See how they flow together? And the large stars?

Hope you like it! Stay tuned for my next commission piece (watercolor and black ink), and there will also be a large one happening in August!

See you soon!
