Portrait Commission at Sawdust Winter Fantasy!

Grandmother, mother and twins came into the booth at the Sawdust Winter Fantasy in Laguna Beach and wanted the oil portrait of the girls. I took some photos of them (they are much too young to sit still), but the next day their mother called and said, "If you haven't started the painting, we have just taken a wonderful photo of the girls running on the beach." So she emailed me the photo, I painted it, and they loved it! It's truly "from heart to art."

I get such a thrill when a client is happy with an original painting that I have created. What could be better?

There is only one more weekend, December 8 and 9, for the festival. I have very special low prices on originals and commissions, so be sure to come and bring your friends and family - there are lots of fun things for kids, plus great food and great music!
