Garden Piece Commision

I love painting but something about it just leaves me restless. Mostly I interpret this as a need to constantly challenge myself. So many ideas and never enough time. Today's challenge was presented to me as a request that I readily accepted. I was given an old school metal milk jug and asked to paint the family dogs on it. A rounded metal surface that I'm sure is going to give me hell in terms of proportions. The jug is destined to become part of garden decor so it also needs to be sufficiently protected. I finally have the chance to use the super glossy glass resin that I have been eyeing for months now. When it drys the resin takes on the appearance of glass. I love me some shiny things.

Things are progressing along nicely. This is about 4 hours of work. One good day should bring this home then off to its owner.

Mickey

It seems my renown as an artist is growing, even more reason for me to keep producing. Not so long ago it came up in conversation at my local grocers that I am an artist and it so happened that a painting commission was desired. The subject, Mickey Mouse, wasn't the most strenuous creative subject, but hopefully will help spread my reputation.

I had fun with this and finished in two sessions. Again my photography skills leave much to be desired. Now it just needs a day or two to dry then off to next project.
