A Special Commission

26*26"
Oil on 2 Inch profile wrapped canvas

A friend had asked me to paint vintage cars for her boys' bedroom. So she forwarded a link to some colour schemes that she really liked and we had the boys pick their vehicles and colours. I also placed each boys' name in the license plates to personalize it more.

Here you can see that I painted the sides of the paintings in a deep blue. These paintings have a presence and do not require any framing.
How refreshing it was to paint something with perspective again. Wow!

Now off to build a truck load of canvasses for The Whyte Ave Art Walk!

Long Time….No See….
The Good news is that I am back. And I am painting after a long drought. FYI: it was not like I was not doing anything and just being lazy. We got pregnant, bought an acreage and then had a baby. All this through the snowiest and coldest and longest winter on record! But the sun is shining, the robins are back and I am painting again. Now we have a new normal.
A friend asked me to paint her African Animals so here is “Marries’ Zebra”. Keep an eye open for the next one. There are four.
Until next time…soon.
