No big commission from yesterday but I did get some more cat food for a 'pleine air' commission for another shop employee. She want a painting for her daughter's birthday present in May.She gave me two photo references. One was in a frame with a collage of images you see a bit of on the right. She then gave me a B&W photo of the pose she wanted to have the dogs in. Mind you, the heads in the photo were about the size of a nickel.
Business was slow anyway because there was a Civil War reenactment occurring down the street. She wanted a bigger canvas so I drove home (15 minute round trip) and got an 11x14 canvas board.
I then spent the remaining time I had for my "Meet the artist" event painting inside the store. [about 2 and a half hours]
Sorry about the quality of the photo but I forgot my camera and used my phone to capture the images so I could leave the painting with her.
That was it! I got several inquiries and we'll see if that results in anything. HUGS! Oh, reminder.. contest ends tomorrow...
