Finishing up October

Hello everybody!  As October draws to a close, I have a great piece for today which I believe is a great finisher for all the pieces I've completed this October.  I fear that I can only show you one piece today as I was not satisfied with the other painting I had intended to post.  Needs a few more touch ups and some polish so I'm keeping it on the drawing board until the next post. This is the 7th piece of the month.  The amount of finished pieces has doubled for this month compared to the other months and I'm excited to see how many more I can finish next month.

On a different note, Happy Halloween!  While I am too old to trick-or-treat I do believe dressing up in costume is always fun.  I wanted to be a starving artist this time around but I was told that I can't be for Halloween what I am in real life so that idea went out the window.  I'll think of something else.  In the mean time please enjoy the latest piece for "The People Project":

Time flies...

Good morning everyone.  I believe a slightly overdue update is in order.  Before we preview the latest lovely additions to "The People Project", I would like to thank each and every one of you for your support and for spreading the word even now, about this project.  I have been getting more commission requests and project offers than ever!  Not to worry, "The People Project" is still my top priority and I will continue pushing myself to begin finishing three paintings a week if possible, but quality comes first and I don't want to rush that.

I don't know about you gals and guys, but when I go back and look at the paintings from start to finish chronologically,  I see a trend of progression from where I started to where I am now.  This projects has definitely been a learning experience for me as my style and technique have developed and grown as well as my mastery of the medium.  I still have a lot to learn but I feel as though I've made a huge leap as opposed to where I was when I started.  I hope to continue my progress even after we conclude our wonderful little project here.  It is a unique experience when painting from and studying the photo's of people whom you have never met and may never meet face to face.  I would even go so far as to say that it is a different form of intimacy (strictly platonic!!!) than what many people will ever experience.

Anyway, keep spreading the word and showing off to your friends and family!

And now, the latest beauties to our collection:

Another Two Just For You

Happy Thursday everyone!  The weekend is almost here, Autumn is upon us and the feeling of the approaching holiday season is in the air.

I bring you the latest two pieces for The People Project.  I'm looking forward to winding up production and moving onto making the book, though I shouldn't get ahead of myself, there are still quite a few more paintings to do.  Hopefully I'll be able to start finishing 3 pieces a week as more of these paintings near completion, not that I'm rushing!

As always, thank you all for your patience and your support.

Enjoy!

As Promised!

I said I would finish two pieces this week, and so I have, although a cold delayed my progress a little bit.  But I'm all better now.

Before we witness the unveiling of the two latest pieces to "The People Project", I just want to let you all know that I have indeed begun shipping out the paintings.  Yay!  So if your piece is one of the ones that I have already finished, expect to see it some time soon.  I am sending each painting in a good sized mailing tube 3 inches in diameter with thick walls so they will definitely be safe.  I'm also mailing them with a delivery confirmation so I can track them online through the post office's website.  These paintings are my babies after all and I want to take care of them haha.  Again, you will be hearing from me regarding verification of your respective shipping addresses prior to my mailing of your painting.

And now, without further stalling, the latest paintings for "The People Project":
