Teddy a Christmas Commission

 Posted on January 3, 2017|1 Comment on Teddy a Christmas Commission
Teddy, 8×10, oil on Raymar Panel

Sometime in November, I put the word on my Facebook Page that after a three year break, I wanted to take on a Christmas commission for someone out there. It was a heartwarming moment for me, when I received a text from a client back in Ontario, seconds later to say she was happily on-board. I’ve completed a few paintings for the McCowan family and I knew immediately that this client was not afraid of colour or artistic expression. I also was fortunate to have excellent reference photos to work from, provided by Robyn Buckler .After a few rough starts, the painting finally flowed for me. I was able to let the edges go, but maintain enough detail in the appropriate areas to create the likeness essential for a successful commissioned piece. I heard soon after Christmas that happy and surprised tears were flowing. I was overjoyed to revisit that familiar feeling of being a special part of someone’s gift.

    Jennifer, I absolutely love this painting.You have done an amazing job of capturing the expression through the eyes, ears and nostril and allowed the form and colour to energize the painting. Well done!
    I look forward to seeing your next paintings.
