Logan - private commission SOLD

'Logan'  SOLD - private commission
10 x 14 inches watercolor 

Recently I had the wonderful opportunity to paint this beautiful little girl. Her mom sent me several photos and we both talked about which ones we thought would make the best portrait. We settled on this one of her in a lamb hat. :) She has the most beautiful eyes and lips and such a solemn and sweet expression. Commissions are easy when you have such beautiful subjects. ;) 

I am currently taking commissions, if you're interested click here for details.

In other news I got these babies all gussied up and ready for their prom date. (Er. . . that is, I gessoed some hard board panels that my wonderful husband cut for me so I can paint on them. :)


Huzzah for completed commissions, happy clients, and fresh surfaces to paint on!! And chocolate!! (Because chocolate is important right? ;)

    Huzzah indeed, for all of the above. Plus that delightfully creepy gif - thanks for the chuckle today Crystal! :)
    Oh yeah, and the reason I came here in the first place---awesome portrait! I don't know how you crank out all these kids so fast (hee hee).

    There is nothing cuter in the world than a baby dressed in a lamb suit!!! You did a gorgeous job, Crystal! Yesterday, I bought my supplies to start gessoeing and varnishing, too. Play time! :)

    Crystal - where the heck is that guy from? It's strangely funny and disturbing at the same time : ) I can't stop watching it.
    On another note, this is a WONDERFUL portrait. Seriously wonderful. What a keepsake!
