My Boys

My Boys
20" x 16"
Acrylic on Canvas

So I really dove in this time! I actually painted a picture of my own children, so scary! Since I actually know what they look like you would think this would be easy, but no, I think that made it harder. Capturing that look, the exact way they hold their mouth, the look in their eyes. While I did not get it exactly right I was okay with it for a first shot. At least now I can say I have done it! I usually tend to blur faces out so they are not recognizable but I found it difficult to do when it was my own children. I guess the new dog will be next! Move over boys you are being replaced : )

Commission Piece Complete!

24 x 30
Acrylic on Canvas
Franklin Family

I just completed a large commission piece for a family here in town. She wanted a painting similar to my "Girls on the Beach" but since they are not beach people we changed the setting. I was happy with the end result and wanted to share with all my friends and family. Hope you are all having a fabulous New Year!! Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy it!
