Animals
Five Labs Commission
I had just finished a commission of five Labradors. They were painted on stretched canvas in oils. And upon the client requests, they were also framed with black floater frames.
Mosley
A commissioned watercolor portrait. Such a delight to paint. The challenge was making sure that the toy colors did not compete with the black and white portrait of Mosley. To solve that I worked on lightened the eyes and lightened up the colors in the toy. It worked!
Pencil sketch 
Traced pencil sketch to watercolor paper 
The colors of the dog toy competed with the portrait.
