A Poodle Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I have been at a loss for words so have not been writing too much. I have been painting so thought a photo of the latest pet portrait would suffice. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words.
If you are interested portraits are done by commission. You can contact me at beth@niftyartgirl.com for more information.

Creative Bang

2011 ended with a creative bang. This portrait of our neighbor's 14 year old son was a surprise gift. It was so much fun to take up brushes and paint a likeness. There will be more of these in the future with the new series I am in the planning stages of.

Also over the holidays my son and I created a painting for another family member. Each evening one of us would disappear into the studio to create.

We alternated working on the canvas, not allowing the other to see until we were finished for that session.

These are some of the stages we went through before we came to the final product.
