COMMISSION


I got a surprise commission the other day to do an abstract. I mean a pure abstract focusing mostly on texture. It's been SO many years since I've done something like this and my goodness it is such a nice change of pace. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my work to death. When I make my work I feel skilled, organized, planned, and when it comes down to it; I feel like I'm totally in control. That doesn't appeal to everyone and I get why, it can be exhausting, but I just thrive off of that. However, it's really nice to have a canvas in front of me and not feel entirely restricted by rules and plans. I still have a plan in my head but it's not rigid. I can splash and scrape and smudge and slap ... it's just so freeing! 

I am happy to say that I was able to deliver this piece in person while visiting Sudbury last week. The new owners have been so supportive of my dreams and this is actually the third piece in their Malinda Prud'homme Art Collection! They love the piece and it was so nice to see them and catch up a bit. An all around amazing experience. :)

These beautiful blues belong to the gorgeous Molly Baker! I have an amazing client, Patrick Giordani, who has been supporting me for years. He talked of commissioning some eye paintings and knew he wanted one for his long time friend Molly. When he told me he wanted to have it finished in time for a visit he would have with her in early March I new I had to get it done. As the washes of different colours created opalescent shine and shape around the eyes I had a feeling the piece would be calming and soft. I have to say I absolutely love the results! I am very happy to say that Molly has allowed me permission to sell prints of this gorgeous artwork. I know these deep eyes will have a calming effect on anyone viewing them.
