COMMISSIONS

Once in a while this happens. Someone close was asking what to put on their walls. I suggested that we look at their photos and whichever they choose I would work from it. That’s MORNING IN THE WOODS (top left) and FUNGI (top right). The medium is oil pastel on textured canvas.

Sometime later friends shared some Facebook photos they taken while fall hiking. They were beautiful scenes of the Bruce Trail. A conversation ensued about what I could do with their chosen photo and soon enough we had agreed on size, price and a monthly payment plan. It was fun to work on this project because it fulfills something for my friends and I got to “spend time” in a place I had not visited for awhile. The more I looked at the photo the more I found to draw; WALK IN THE WOOD (below centre) was an amazing process of recollection and discovery. More commissions like these are certainly welcome.
