I am finished with my latest commission portrait. Kevin has recently passed away and this is one of Beth’s favorite photos of them, together. I thought it was a wonderful photo from which to work. It is difficult getting a good reference photo.
This portrait was made with oil-based colored pencils and alcohol markers on hot-pressed watercolor paper. It is 14×10. Beth is really happy with it and so am I. I love it. I hate to send it to her, because I will miss it. LOL!
It is snowing here, in Huntsville, today. We have an ice sandwich in the works: snow, then ice, then snow. Fortunately, we have nowhere we need to go. So, I have just been taking pictures and playing Huntsville-opoly with Ron. He won, today.
Yes, this is nothing compared to Ohio or elsewhere, but it is a lot for Huntsville. We are pretty much shut down. LOL! But, I think everyone needs a break once in a while to sit around and drink hot beverages and look out the window. As long as the electricity sticks around for the duration…
I think I will make a pastel landscape this afternoon.
