Commission Works

I've been catching up on commissioned artworks, now that I'm post-black butterfly exhibition. Here are two of the most recent, both in pastel, and another commissioned drawing with Guinness wash is in the works. It's always a grace to work on something special for a patron, it's even more rewarding if they are pleased with the results, which is the case with each of these.

I've also been busy with shows the past few months, selling a few things, and 2 group shows coming up in January.

I had a small gold plein air frame I decided to fill with something for my daily study. It will find a place at my current exhibition “Deep Heart’s Core: Ireland by 5 Chicago Artists” at the Beverly Arts Center in my neighborhood. The center will be well attended this week during the annual Chicago Irish Film Festival.

This is the view from the cliffs at Achill Island, Mayo, back to the holy mountain, Croagh Patrick.

The Mad Sheep we saw on Achill Island in Mayo, Ireland last September. He did not seem pleased I was taking his photo. I used my zoom. :)
