January, 2025

This is an in-progress mock-up in watercolor for a client in Emerald Isle, North Carolina. The great blue herons will be added soon, and were blocked out to allow for background work to take place. 

This piece is 22x30 on 300 gsm Arches watercolor paper and will eventually be matted/framed for marketing. The client is not under any obligation to purchase the mock-up.  This proces is something I will often do for my own familiarity with the subject, and can then offer the piece for purchase. The final commission will be in oils, and will be on 36x48 gallery wrapped linen. The client will also receive a full scale sketch, so that she can best visualize the finished painting, enabling us to discuss any alterations before the final work begins. Completed work will be posted.

 

It may be mid-January, but I am still

sending out "late" winter/holiday/New Year cards... after I fulfilled standing orders for repeat clients

for holiday cards, which I started in October, I am finally getting around to doing my own!

About 50 go out every year, and often result in requests for larger original paintings.
