Commissioned Drawings & Paintings in December 2010

Flashback:

It all of sudden started at the end of November. I had never been so busy for the longest time with 2 drawings and 3 oil paintings to complete in December. I just finished the last oil piece yesterday and I thought it was time to share while it dries.

Jim found me through the Fresno Arts Council and commissioned this drawing as a gift for his fiancé Jennifer for Christmas.  I only had to add Honey (the labrador) behind Jennifer and the two dogs.

Alex had been looking for a long time for an artist. He gave me a 4" x 6" photo of his grandparents that I turned into a 11" x 14" oil painting.

This one was actually a Christmas gift for my wife's company's owners.
