Father's Day Gift Rush


These past two weeks I feel like I've been doing an endless series of laps in a great big pool of paint .  I ferociously kicked my way through custom orders for Father's Day, barely able to come up for a breath of air ~ while at the same time towing my pre-school art camp kids on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday ~ and my ladies art class on Mondays and Fridays.  The finish line flags are now visible as I finish up my last custom painting.  So, please bare with me as I take a little time to share the custom orders which have kept my painting hand and creativity in great shape.

For these I hand painted a reproduction of my customers original photograph, cut it into thirds, adhered it to 3 natural wood art blocks, added more paint, then sealed and signed the back.

Many thanks to those who entrusted me to create a special gift for Father's Day.  Wishing all the dads a great day and may you feel as special as you are!
