Commissioned Paintings on the Easel

I’ve been happily occupied by bespoke artwork the last few months, and I thought you might like to see a few photos from them!

The first is a painting of Christ of the Sacred Heart. My son-in-law posed for it, but I took liberties with eye color and hair. The clients are Sacred Heart Southern Missions in Walls, Mississippi and I am delighted that they chose me to paint for them!

The second Christ painting will be quite different, with another Jesus, equally gentle and loving, but drawn and painted from my imagination and several sources.

Additionally, I am doing two or more paintings for fans of English novelist, Georgette Heyer. This first one is in the “it may be done but I have to stop looking at it, for a while” stage! This is my idea of what Georgette may have been like around the time of writing her first work of (published) fiction at the age of seventeen.

Quality canvas prints will be available after the painting is dry and scanned.
