"Morning Star II"


I've painted this sweet girl a few times now from different angles. 
She is a commission for a lady who wanted her for a special spot in her home. 
I was not sure if it would work using red here for the background because there 
is a fair bit of red in the subject, but i really like the outcome. 
Hopefully the client will agree!

"Brattland"


A wee watercolour, 14" X 18" about a family and all their memories rolled into one. 
There is the cabin by the seaside, a raft with children, the sail boat they sailed around the world on, a kayak with hubbie and family pet and all the other marine vessels they've owned. 
I had a binder full of photos to work from and put this together for them. They said they liked it! I'm happy with that.
