It took a leap of faith
and an immeasurable amount of help from family and friends...
To leave snow shovels behind
and head home to Atlanta.
And
WHOA!
I could NOT have gotten luckier to score this awesome new studio space!
It usually takes me a while to break in a new studio,
So I began a painting from life
to help adjust to new light sources.
The plan was to do a study on paper first,
then try to tackle the large canvas.
However,
the last brushstroke of the study had not yet dried
when I was contacted about two awesome commissions!
A GINORMOUS 72"x72" sandwich painting commission
and a killer portrait commission!!
So purse off the easel for now
and I'm happily settled in and working on the study for the sandwich! :D
In-progress shots coming soon!
It's good to be home! :)
The gingkos miss you... at least the Illinois ones do, however, they're happy you're in a better place. :)
