  There's something really nice about seeing my painting thoughtfully framed and hanging on someone's wall. That's the dream, right? :)

This is a commission I received from someone who ran across my paintings online, and I think it's just about finished. It was a fun one--especially the color. I haven't painted in a while. But one thing I'm starting to realize is that practically all of the problems of painting (except color and paint handling) can be learned/solved through drawing. So I'm okay with not painting a whole lot right now, though it sure is fun to pull out those paints once in a while  ;)

This is a new commission I'm just starting. Accepting a commission makes me really nervous. The fact that someone is willing to entrust me with an image that is personally meaningful to them is a little intimidating. I want to do a good job, and I will certainly do my best. Now I've just got to get up the guts to go for it (also, I need figure out how to mount my loose linen to a panel when I'm finished, but that will come later). Wish me luck! This is 12x16".
