August Commissions

August was a great month for finishing commissioned work! 

My friend's mother wanted me to paint a new piece for her living room. It's massive; at 54" square it's easily the largest painting I've ever done. In addition to that challenge, it's in a style that's vastly different from my usual work. I'm always up for a challenge! I think it turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself. She picked it up yesterday and was thrilled. 

It looks better in person, I promise.

I also did a smaller painting for my friend Katie. She needed a birthday gift for her Gilmore Girls-loving friend and I was happy to oblige! It was way too much fun to paint and she, her friend, and I all loved the way it turned out. 

once again, not the greatest picture. Photographing work is hard!
