“Purple Haze”
Private Commission

I’m back! A bit more rested, but still under a lot of pressure to complete work for an upcoming show in September. Despite the extra work, however, I have managed to complete a couple of commissions over the past few weeks. Here’s one that someone requested (names withheld to insure privacy. The couple wanted grapes to go with the Hydrangeas. The setup was requested because it brings up feelings of a very special place to the couple.

I’ll be moving my blog sometime during the next couple of months to WordPress.com because of the options they offer on design. But don’t worry…you’ll continue to receive posts without interruption and I’ll notify you of the new address, should you want to browse the new site once it’s up and running.

I’ve been so busy lately with preparations for an upcoming festival, working on my website and getting ready for another show, that I haven’t picked up a paintbrush in almost a week! So just to push some paint around and get a little paint fix, I did a sweet little one of roses. Very fast, very ala prima, but very cute. See the brush detail below.
