| I am anti-social.... so I can't organize dinners to raise funds. I am too embarrassed to canvas my friends for money for a place they've never heard of, have never seen, and never will visit. I offered to contribute proceeds from the sale of my paintings ... but nothing from nothing isn't very much. So instead, I'm contributing in the only way i know how, by contributing some paintings. So I've turned religious and am doing some faux stained glass windows for Camarda. This is a cool project... paintakingly detailed... but fun. : ) o/c 60x30" |

| Dulcie and Stewart Snider Oil on oval canvas, 16x20" This was an interesting commission. My friend Judith wanted a commemorative portrait of her parents for their 60th anniversary. So she brought me a 6x8" of her parents and a 3x4" of her mum taken in the '40s. Ughhhhhh. I hate photographers! They always tell their subjects to say 'cheese' and show off all those teeth, and I hate teeth!. I don't dooo teeth. So, I blew up the pictures to see some detail, then I changed their faces to get rid of the teeth.... then i had to figger out what colour their clothes were and eyes and hair.... so... fun stuff. But, I got it. Her mother is right on.... I'm happy with her. The father doesn't look right, but it was the best I could do with the angle of pictures that I had... So... fun project. |
