Hi friends, I have a brand new commission to share with you all. It was such a pleasure to briefly take a mental trip back to my tropical roots while creating this lovely painting. The client wanted a painting of her house in Kauai and it was so fun for me to paint the vibrant tropical vegetation just like I used to when I was a kid. This piece also had another layer of meaning beyond the house as the tennis racket and balls were meant to be a symbolic commemoration of the clients late husband. I hope you enjoy the photos of the piece. The painting was only 8”x8” so I really tried to pack every detail that I could into this one.
Delivery of my Three Month Long Commission
I’m so happy to let you all know that I was finally able to deliver my three month long commission to its new owner in Denver two weekends ago. This was such an awesome experience filled with an official painting reveal, sit down interview and hanging of the piece. I couldn't have asked for a better reception for me and the painting. Be sure to check out the photos below and I'm sure I will be able to share videos from the interview with you soon!
I think it’s safe to say I have NEVER had a reception like this before, Katy and I felt so welcomed by Jason, his family, his camera person and of course his dogs
I’m really looking forward to future projects with Jason and I am so honored that he approached me with this meaningful project several months ago.
In this interview Jason and I were able to talk about why he first approached me creating this unique painting. He talked at the extensive research that he conducted to find the perfect artist to fulfill his vision. He also mentioned that seeing my painting “Through the Leaves” fully convinced him that I would be right for the job.
I was able to talk about what intrigued me about this and why I decided to take it on. Mentioning that I really resonated with the meaning behind the painting he wanted to create and how I love creating works that are infused with symbolism and stories.
