Commissioning Work

I've been asked how someone goes about commissioning work.  Well, I just need to know size and medium, and have reference photos (either taken by me or sent to me).  Then off I go to paint!

Dog Portraits

I have been asked about doing dog portraits.  Here are some examples.  I can do watercolor, oil, or acrylic, or pencil sketch.

Full Sheet--Watercolor Portrait

I love how the kids are hot from a hike and finding treasure in the summer of the Sierras.  It was a challenge to do it in watercolor, but I like it!

What I see...

...around where I live in the Fall.  These are full size watercolor paintings.  They are several years old.

This first painting just earned my husband and me a night at Vintners Inn (the subject of the painting) in deluxe accommodations, a generous gift certificate to dine at John Ash & Co. for dinner, and a delicious (I hope) breakfast!  I am looking forward to spending time with my husband.

 This one earned some more work.  As I looked over it I realized there were several things that I wanted to change (is that allowed?) so...I did!  I like it much better now.  I hung it at Shoffeitt's in Healdsburg yesterday.

Flowers for Magdeline

I painted these to coordinate with a super cute quilt.
