Commission #2
Hello Everyone! How have you been this summer? It has been a very active one for me, packed full of art, exploring Colorado - my new home state, and spending time with friends and family. We had 22 visitors total this summer! We have a running joke about being able to put "Bed and Breakfast Owner" on our resume. Ha ha! But seriously, it was a blessing to spend time with special people. We talked, we walked, we ate, we laughed...all the good stuff!
I did these two commission paintings for a friend this summer. They are to be gifts for two of his aunts. The boy in the painting is his father in childhood. They were so fun to do, and a challenge to get a likeness between the two paintings.

| Kitchen With Orange Tile oil on panel 4 x 6 inch |
I think Starry Night Bedroom is my favorite of these. I started to paint some small houses the other day, but I am missing painting people, so I started them again yesterday.
My studio space has been well broken into now.
:)
Besides painting and enjoying all the visits we have had, I have been taking some time to put together our new living space. I found this broken wing angel at an antique store for only $5. She HAD to come home with me and we can see her from our kitchen table out on the deck. I love seeing her out there.
And there has been plenty of hiking too! Colorado is all about the outdoors which is truly wonderful. I can't lie...it has been a BIG adjustment to move to a new state at the age of 50 after being in Kansas most our lives, but for now this feels like a gift we should take advantage of for as long as we are here.
Until next time...
