Family Tree commission

Today I've made a start on my latest commission - a family tree.  I've been sent 14 profile photographs and my task is to put them into a tree, together with a baby in a hanging crib and the family cat.

Here is my initial drawing.  I have decided on the placement of the portraits and now I've got the fun part of drawing in all the leaves, birds, names and any other little critters that take my fancy!  Should be a fun one.

Geese and Gosling commission

Sorry I haven't blogged for a while.  I was away for a month and prior to that I was super busy.

However, I have managed to do a commission for a lovely couple who are having their first baby any day now.  I was commission (in secret!) by the hubby to make the piece as a surprise for  his wife.  When it came to handing it over to him, he couldn't keep it a secret any longer and told his wife all about it.  Thankfully she was over the moon and they absolutely love it.

Here are some work in progress pics and the final piece.

'G'

A month or so ago I held a Giveaway here and on FB.  The winners wanted a G and an S.  So I've made a start on the G - hope to get it finished in a day or so.

I love this stage where it just starts to appear.

C is for Conrad

A lovely commission for a Christening.  The requirement was that it should be blue and have leaves and birds.  The parents of Conrad are apparently both heads of Art Departments at two different schools.  No pressure there then!  Hope they like it!  Here you can see the progress from drawing to final cut.

NA ZDROWIE!

So I finally managed to finish this big commission and get it all sent off to the US.  As it was so large, I had to send the pieces unmounted with full instructions how to glue it all down!  I hope the lady has managed ok!  Anyway, here's the semi-finished piece.
