This blog is just a place for the random thoughts, sketches and paintings of a country-girl artist, who loves horses, nature and rural life.

Busy with Custom Portraits
For months I can have little or no commissions then all of a sudden around thanksgiving tons of orders poor in wanting paintings by Christmas some even before that. Day 1 of the painting marithon. Yesterday was spent sketching and making sure I was on same wave length as the clients. All boards were gessoed and lightly colored a couple of days ago. The first ones pictured received their backgrounds today. On the last one I have started roughing in the hair nose and eyes. Lots of work, must get back to work.
