Probably the last Christmas commission this year.

This one is mostly finished but there are several more things I need to do before it is completely finished. 12"X16" oil on canvas. Not too good a photo, since it has been dreary the past few days, but you can get the idea. Will try to post a better photo when I am completely finished.

Lovely portrait and very happy faces. The dress has complicated pattern to paint.

Wonderful. The eyes tell the story. I can feel the love. Excellent piece Sno.

Oh, they’re gonna love it. That’s a wonderfully warm painting, and expression on their faces. It will always be treasured.

Thank you, Grapes! Yes, that pattern is a mess. Of course it is not exact but I think, recognizable. I'll post the reference when I post the final product.

Thank you, Wayne. Eyes are the first thing I paint, windows to the soul. If I can get resemblance in the eyes, the rest usually follows.

Thank you, Christine! I am always nervous until after the recipient approves a painting. I hope it is treasured.

Ohh that's gold!

Thank you, Jade!

I'm calling it finished now, it has been approved and I've done the picky stuff to it and put my John Henry on it. Still having dreary weather so can't get a decent photo of it.
