Let's start with some painting.....
I was hired by some good friends of mine to create a custom set of paintings - I was so thrilled and jumped at the chance to paint for them! They had seen a painting of mine of a seahorse and requested a larger version of it along with two other sea creature designs. After putting together some sketches - I was off to work! But I can't really call it work - because I enjoyed every second of it. When it came time to pack them up and deliver them....I had a bit of separation anxiety - ha! Yet, I realized that feeling meant I had done right - I had put a little bit of myself into each and every one. I love this style and process and I intend on continuing this series with more water loving creatures.
These pieces are about 20"x20" on hardwood panel - The Crab is my favorite :) Enjoy!
