Portrait of daughter

This is my first watercolor portrait (at least since high school if I did it then). It's of my daughter -this is her "focused" face. She was actually opening up some Chapstick when I shot this; which is one of her favorite things ever...lol. This is going to be a Valentine's gift for my husband. <3 Thanks for looking :)

Full size about 5"x7"

Watercolor on Strathmore using Winsor & Newton

Lemmy Portrait - Work in Progress

Starting a piece for a super amazing friend of mine! So I'm posting a little work in progress for you to see how it's done #wip (and yes I accept commissions)

The layout:

My daughter drawing alongside

Here's her rendition of Lemmy (she's 2.5!!!!) I'm amazed by her; in so many ways!

Consultation Days 2016

Every last Thursday from 2:00-6:00 is Consultation Day till the Holiday season.

*marks the selected few that will be on different days!

•January -28th

•February -25th

•March -31st

•April -28th

•May- 26th

•June -30th

* •July - *Wednesday* 27th

•August -25th

•September -29th

•October -27th

* •November -*17th (2nd to last Thursday because of Thanksgiving)

•December -29th

NO Appointment is necessary on those days during those times for a consult; a cash deposit may be necessary between $40-100 (a receipt will be given!)

Appointments are made generally 3-5 months from the Consultation date depending on the current booking out status. I try to make all the necessary appointments needed for your piece at the time we make out your appointments so that once your piece is started it will get finished in a timely manner.

So as I write this we are heading into the end of August I am currently booking new appointments in February.... Just to get an idea of the wait time. The end of next month will probably mean somewhere around the end of February/beginning of March.

Thank you so much for looking :)

Free time happiness

my view going home 💕

Beautiful flower in my new garden ...it's naturally glowing! It was shaded all over this area. Just so pretty!

I'll embrace any water that nature puts before me! Add a sunset, some sand, my precious angel, and the man of my dreams; Perfection!
