Recent commissioned painting

I really enjoyed creating this painting. It is huge 30x30 so bigger than life size. This was commissioned by a person who has already purchased my work in the past. I am excited by how happy she is over it. Always good to hear.

OH MY GOD, Laura! You did it! You finished it, and it is GORGEOUS!!! I so love how you put the lyrics in there, and I love even more that your client changed her mind about the color of the writing!

STUNNING!!! :smile015:

Wow, Laura! I was already highly impressed by this piece, but the words in the background just take it to another level! Beautiful.

Beautiful work Laura. I just love it!! It's a good feeling too, when the client is pleased with your work, and such a complement that she purchased your work yet again

You have talent!!!

JerseyWendy · Mar 20, 2015

Laura, you ought to tell everyone how many colors you used for this....

labell · Mar 20, 2015

Just 2...

Burnt Umber and White. (The trick is about 7 to 8 values of those colors with white being the lightest highlights and pure dark's being straight burnt umber.)

Wow Laura! That is amazing! You're such a talented painter. I bet the buyer is excited to have that. Are you a career artist?

Yes, after many years as a social worker my husband kindly encouraged me to paint full time so now that is what I do and I truly love it! It's not always a steady source of income but thankfully neither my husband or I are "keep up with the Jones" sort of people so we get by just fine. I feel blessed everyday to be able to do something I enjoy this much. Don't get me wrong I loved social work but the job related stress was sometimes overwhelming!

I'm mad (not really) and I just want to whine.
