I have been a little quiet this week - no wee beastie news yet but I have been holed up in my studio.
Remember that commissioned piece I was working on?
Well I have finished + have had final approval, so I thought I would finish the final painting here.
Wild [commission piece sold] |
I loved painting this one, although the strawberry blonde hair gave me a few head aches. I don't really paint blonde haired girls, and now I know why!
Strawberry blonde is not just yellow, or brown or flesh, or white. It is all of these, as well as some olive and red, and black, and pink. And yes I googled it!
At one stage I didn't ever think it would come together, I just kept layering + layering, but in the end I am really happy about it. And so is my friend, which is the main thing isn't it!
I am also very excited this week cause, I sold two other paintings this week:
Bird Song |
You are Amazing. Always |
Both of which are on their way to their new homes. Thank you so much Kyles + Sam - I hope you enjoy them.
I also wanted to extend a warm welcome my new readers + thank you to those who have been with me from the very first. I never really pay much attention to how many people have joined me in celebrating living the life I have always dreamed, but I my friend pointed out that there are well over 100 people. Thanks guys x
I hope you have a great weekend, I have a last minute sewing projects + cookies on my agenda + yes, I know, I really should have started these in July not the weekend before Christmas!
I really like "You are amazing always."
