Happy Holidays !
From our family to yours, we are hoping that you had a
Christmas that was Merry and filled with Joy.
___________________________
I spent December working on this 40 x 60 inch gallery wrap
House Portrait Commission. Planned as a Christmas gift, there was a clear completion deadline so the drawing began Thanksgiving weekend.
"Lake House Beginning"
____________________________
I always start with a mid-tone wash and work with the lights and darks to get the values to my liking. My client lives nearby and was able to view the piece several times during the process.
"Lake House Shaping Up"
|
Colors were adjusted, personal details added and I truely enjoyed doing my stylized "tweeking."
Thanks goodness for my generous husband's help as we boxed and wrapped it, then delivered it on Christmas Eve. It made us feel like Mr. & Mrs. Claus !
" The Lake House" Completed

Now is the perfect time for me to Thank all my collectors, family and friends for all your support and encouragement during this past year.
May the New Year be Happy, Healthy, Safe and Prosperous for us all !
