I am wrapping up a big new Art Commission arranged through Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. This one she brings the magic and the mystery. I keep saying I won’t do more commissions. The commissions have all been rewarding this year… but seriously this might be the last, for a little while.
This one has shipped to its new home in Colorado. I am pretty selective regarding commissions I take, this was a fun one.
I have just finished this large commission. I am not taking many commissions this year as I am focusing on my solo show work. Winter inspiration everywhere in the snow country I live in… half a foot more coming over the weekend.
I will be varnishing and framing this painting during the weekend. It is a commission that will be displayed with an older painting of my called “the hermit”.
A new painting that I will be varnishing and framing. This one was a commission arranged through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. So excited to be working with them.
Shipping out this large commission today. It is heading on a long journey to Florida! The photo was taken on my studio deck.
Making a lot of progress on this large commission. When it is finished it will be shipping to the Florida coast!
I framed and shipped this commissioned painting to its new home in California. It is based on the view from property they own on Lake Pend Oreille.
Wrapping up this commission. A painting of Lake Pend Oreille from a different vantage. I drove over to the owner’s property a number of times before starting a concept and ultimately this final painting. Always a pleasure to paint this like I love so much.
Final capture of this commission that is now at its new home! I have a couple more commissions lined up. I am pretty particular about commissions, it has to be something I am excited about painting.
