A) Sunlit Reverie, Oil on Canvas

Latest commission off to Delaware, USA 🙂 My collector wanted to commission some artworks of her daughter. She really liked this side profile pic of her, taken on her ballet recital, with the sunlight falling on her creating a play of colors. The little girl was lost in her thoughts with a gentle look on her face and it was such a candid capture that it had to be painted! 🙂 A second photo, taken on her phone was not clear enough to be made into a painting, but was such a sweet expression and pose so decided to make a charcoal sketch with a pop of color of her ballet tutu.

In my collector’s words when she first saw the artworks”
I have no idea how you managed to capture so much!!!! The colors look identical and the nuances in her face, they make me cry. I’m in love with a painting ❤️. I love that profile and I’m glad you picked that one!! It’s so beautiful!!
The sketch is amazing as well and looks so beautiful with the dress in color! “

B) Father’s day charcoal commission

A surprise father’s day commission that made its way recently to the home of a lovely family in Ohio, USA.
Commissioned by the mom as a gift to her husband of him with their two girls 🙂

The reference she had taken on her phone was such a candid moment, full of genuine emotion, that we both agreed immediately that this would make a great charcoal drawing for the occasion! She thoughtfully commissioned me well in advance to be able to work on it a relaxed and flexible pace. Thoroughly enjoyed working on this piece for them.

Happy that it was loved by all of them and turned out to be a great father’s day surprise!! 🙂 Glad to have my art in the home of this loving, super talented, musical family!
