Sadie’s Announcement
Custom Wedding Invite Such a good idea! It was Rhiannon who chose to have her daughter announce their wedding to friends and family. Very clever, and so making this was a lot of fun. Rhiannon asked I include her daughter Sadie’s little blanket bunny, RaRa, but with a real bunny body. Sadie’s nickname is Sadie…

Canoediana
“Canoediana” – Commission, ~18″ x 24″ What an infectious smile!? Christine’s grandma is pictured here relaxing afloat a canoe. When she commissioned this piece, Christine gave me free reign to add colour if I wanted too. I contemplated making the shirt red, but opted out in the end as you can see. I…

Camping Patch
“Camping Patch” – Commission, ~16″ x 20″, acrylic on wood. This may have been the hardest picture to paint as of yet. My goodness. I scratched out and repainted my sweet friend Miranda’s little child face. She commissioned this as a gift for her Dad, and I wanted terribly to capture her perfectly. I…

Maui Wedding ~ 26″ x 38″, commission. Summer is the season for wedding portraits! Again, I was able to paint this one outside in the sun which is so appropriate for the subject, got me right in the groove. This image is quite large, and I had the added challenge of combining two photos. The…

Custom Thanks
Shannon & Eric’s Custom Thank You Card Again, Shannon knows what she wants! Fantastic, and I liked her directions. I still favour my first drawing though, where their Foxy selves were nude in the canoe. I guess it was a bit too risqué for a wedding thanks ;) Cut offs are cute. Nice touch.…

Shannon & Eric Wedding Invite
Custom Wedding Invite for Shannon & Eric This was a fun little project, off my beaten path. Shannon saw our wedding invite through a mutual friend, and so had me design hers. I liked how she knew what she wanted, from subject to background details. I did up a few different drawings and we…

Mara & her Dad, approximately 18″ x 20″ (I should write these things down). Awwww, Mara, and her father, I love everything about this picture. Their eyes, his sweater, their bevies, and even the background details. Maybe it’s cause I have a soft spot for dads, I don’t know. I am long overdue posting this,…
