Commissioned Portrait Painting of Two Beach Babes


Original Photo


Beach Babes Painting
Acrylic on Canvas
30" x 40"

Yesterday Jenna came by to pick up her finished portrait painting, which she and her brother gave to their mom last night. I haven't heard yet from Jenna as to their mother's reaction from this incredibly thoughtful gift, but I can imagine it was emotional. ~ And I just want to say - from the bottom of my heart - Thank you for giving me the opportunity to paint this piece. You both are a treasure!

  1. Absolutely perfect. I wish I could paint like that. I'm so used to digital that it would take me months to do something like that now. Great job!
