back in the studio: holiday commissions

This afternoon, as the dancer and I were rearranging the paintings in her room (per her request…she’s quite the creative lil’ nymph), she asked,

Why haven’t you been working in your art room?

I explained that I was taking a break. To this she asked an even more poignant question:

You’re taking a break ALL day? 🙂

I love the innocent questions the kiddos pose each day. Most of which I really need to listen to, for there is much I can learn from each of them.

I admit that the art room is a bit of a mess right now. When I was painting the musical instrument paintings for Ms. Kristi, I did them on the kitchen table as I need a clutter-free place to work so I don’t get distracted and spend my time reorganizing instead.

Meanwhile I currently working on a few Holiday Commissions. If you’re looking for something special this holiday season, here are my sale prices for holiday commissions:

36×48″ = $4150 (regular price) => $2750 (holiday sale price)

30×36″ = $2600 => $1800

30×30″ = $2100 => $1500

18×24″ = $1025 => $599

16×16″ = $625 => $500

11×14″ = $370 => $250

Other sizes are fine…just nothing smaller than 11×14 for subjects other than simple objects (shoes, clothes, etc.)

Some of my favorite commission subjects:

favorite places/memories
buildings, homes
baby clothes, blessing outfits, shoes
portraits

I’m always up for new ideas. 🙂

To order your holiday commission, email me by the end of November:

a chosen subject
a photo for reference
the decision of whether you want it framed (cradled) or unframed (to be framed later)
the address of the gift’s recipient if you’d like it wrapped (complimentary of course) and mailed to the lucky receiver directly
