I took this commission last spring and thought to myself,"No big deal." Little did I know it was going to be as challenging as "building" the log cabin chapel!! The picture I was given was taken at a strange angle that made the front of the chapel look crooked (maybe it really was!) I have had to fix and re-fix this painting so many times in the last month that I doubt that there will be many more log cabins in my painting future. I delivered it today and I must say that the recipient was thrilled and "loved" the way it looked. Lindsey said, "Oh my gosh, it looks just like that!" (which in turn made me very happy) So all is well that ends well. Whew! I think I need a "chair" now!

That qualifies it as a chair painting in my book.
ReplyDeleteThose commissions can make you crazy!
Other people's photos are usually horrible to paint from...but you pulled it out. Take a break....well deserved.
ReplyDeleteYou've captured a very bright sunlit day wonderfully; put your feet up while sitting in that chair!
ReplyDeleteThe values on it are perfect! you really caught the right light effect on this cute little cabin.
