My first Sister/Brother custom canvas!

I was hired to create a special Sister/Brother canvas for someone.  Her daughter is five and her son is two and she gave me this quote to use.  A lot of the little details I added were things that she shared about their likes, nicknames etc.  It was really fun to do something new but the boy hair was definitely challenging for me.  I do this as a hobby and I don't consider myself a professional artist.  I have never taken a class (maybe I should!) but she was beyond thrilled with the final product!!

Custom Sister Canvas #2

Here is my second of a set of two sister canvases someone custom ordered from me.  This is 12x12 and I LOVE this one!  This is for her sister that lives several states away which explains the quote that I chose.  You probably cannot read the little poem I wrote that I placed on the blue polka dot heart.  It says " even though you're not always near, in my heart, you'll always be, my dear".

This was a very fun piece to work on because I did something I have never done with hair as you can see here!  I was not quite sure how it was going to turn out but apparently it's "super cute" according to my two sweet little girls.  I have their stamp of approval and I look forward to hearing what my client thinks!!

Time to get some sleep!

Custom Sisters Canvas #1

I received a custom order from somebody who wanted to have me create a custom 12x12 canvas for two of her sisters.  Here is canvas number one and I will do a separate post for number two!

I am not in love with the quality of my photos so I apologize in advance.  It's late and the lighting is not favorable but I need to get this post up and ship her order of three custom canvases across the country ASAP!

Custom Mother Daughter Canvas

This is a 12x12 custom order canvas that I did for a Mother to give to her grown daughter as a birthday gift.  She loves her only daughter to pieces and wanted to give her something unique and special for her birthday.  I love being able to "interview" my clients and incorporate special, yet subtle, little details into the piece.  If you look closely, you might be able to see a date on the Mother's dress which is her daughter's birthday.  It was a lot of fun to create and I hope they both enjoy it!

A custom order, "Sisters"

This is a 12x12 canvas that someone commissioned me to make as a gift for her sister.  I just love how this one turned out!

Custom menorah to commemorate Hanukkah!

It's the first night of Hanukkah and I thought I would unveil my first piece of mixed media art work in celebration of this holiday. This 12x12 canvas was commissioned as a gift for the buyer's in-laws. Enjoy!
