( click to see new sketches )Been working on 2 commissions... and finally fished my mum's portrait.. Her wedding photo over 50 years ago! I will be giving it to her tomorrow.
The other 2 are Birthday and Father's Day gift..
The drawing with 2 people.. was very demanding.. The photo of the woman was over 30 years old.. very faded.. very blurry.. had to take a lot of artistic license.. and the young man came from a very, very small photo.. The lady who bought it seemed very pleased.. She was very emotional.. I must have captured them.. It can be very emotional. The woman was the young mans mother.. She passed away over 15 years ago, and the only photo he had of her.. So I was really paranoid NOT to lose it.. or mess it up.. Thank the lord for computers and scanners..
Things are still a bit weird at the moment.. Still, no job for hubby.. He did get a contract job for one day tomorrow.. so hopefully, he will feel a bit more confident! I have another commission this week.. May actually be a nude!! Haven't done one of those in over 30 years... My hubby was like?? do ya do nudes??? I said I will DRAW anything and anybody.. Now if I could only get Sean Bean nude and in front of me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
