Red Trees and Shadows Commission

Red Trees and Shadows Commission
Original 42" x 56" painting
Golden, Liquitex, and Atelier acrylics

This commission was requested by a new patron who found this composition in my portfolio on my web site. She requested a much larger version of it than I had previously painted, and I was quite happy to accommodate her. Since she lives in Canada, and shipping a stretched painting of those dimensions was going to be prohibitively expensive, we opted to ship it unstretched, and she will have it stretched at a local frame shop where she lives.

Today's paintings are two of my compositions that both my patrons and I enjoy. The Red Trees and Shadows piece is a composition that I originally painted when I started out as a working artist. I've done several commissions of this painting, but this is my first multi-canvas rendering.

Still Life with Daisy Bouquet and Red Vase is a recent composition that has been very popular. This one is the latest in the series.

I'll be shipping the Alaska commission tomorrow (yay!) and starting on several new commission orders that came in last week. My commission work has really picked up, along with sales on my selling venues. I have the best job!
