I have been commissioned by a fan of mine to paint her cats. I am very excited, because this will be the first painting I've ever sold. She is sending me a few pictures of her cats and I will paint from there. I will not rush through it, I will take my time. It's time I was challenged and this is the perfect opportunity. I just hope I can live up to her expectations. And since she's paying me, I can go get more paints, as I'm still low on yellows.
For reasons, I will not be posting a picture until my client has her piece in hand, so as not to spoil the surprise. Photographs of paintings never come out right, anyway, with my little point and shoot.
I did get a suggestion from one of my Facebook friends to try doing a still life rather than painting from pictures. I will have to try that once I get another easel. For now I'm laying a dropcloth on my headboard and using that to paint. Not very professional, I know, but my last easel was thrown out when we moved 10 months ago.
