Commission completed! Click on the photos to enlarge! Dragonfly Book Fairy Book

My final Christmas order was shipped today and will arrive in all it's glory special delivery for a very special lady tomorrow! These pics are just a few snippets of the photos that I have taken along the way-SO much work and care went in to all of these original pieces, what a delight to create they all were...and to know they are going to such a loving home is wonderful!

This is my latest commissioned piece, just a few of my 'in progress' shots to share with you today! This is a large piece and to be created as part of a series of three to be hung together, so quite challenging, but I am so very pleased with the results so far! Final images wil be posted here tomorrow, so hopefully I have piqued your curiosity enough that you will want to return and see the fruits of my labours in full glory!

These are some 'in progress' shots ( taken on my phone so not the best quality!) of one of several commissions I am currently working on....this is a large painting in warm burgundy shades, set to go in bedroom environment, so I have worked to keep the atmosphere calm and soothing whilst retaining the required colour palette...I think it is working rather well, let's hope my customer thinks so too :) .... More photos to follow soon, and further updates on other current works to follow!

This is a commissioned painting that I have been working on.I am not very good at remembering to take 'in progress' shots when I am working and envy those organised types that do so-it fascinates me to see how the layers build towards a finale,and I often regret that I don't record the stages better! ( * note to self-belated New Year Resolution, keep a better collection of 'in progress' shots!) Anyways,here are the resulting,slightly erratic, stages that I committed to my camera during this painting. Firstly,the basics colours and shapes are laid down to support the image that will be created. Layers of hot colours are added gradually. The base shades are softened with cool ocean tones. Tones are again softened using misty whites and yellow tones. The waves begin to look 'wet'. When I think I'm done(!) -the sides are painted matt black so no frame will be necessary. Finally-apologies for the poor photo quality at the end, I varnished the piece during...
