I finished one! I had such fun making this family portrait--Kristen, the mom with the beautiful red mouth, requested those birch trees, and I
love making birch trees. Beyond the background, though, this little crew just spoke to me. Sometimes I receive the client's images and I think, "Oh,
yes." A kind of chemistry maybe?
And I always feel like critters make a portrait come to life. Increasingly people are ordering pieces with pets included, and I can see why.
Well, my belly's full of what might have been the season's last soup (Broccoli Bisque), and I'm off to read
The Subtle Knife with Miss A. Have a lovely Sunday afternoon, friends.

ooh! His Dark Materials!! Lyra is incredible and so are those books. Deep too. Lots to sink your teeth into...
oh, and the felt peeps are awesome, of course.
Thanks, m'dear.
I LOVE THAT! Do you take commissions?
Yes, Libby, I do--I have an unusually long backlog right now, so the order-to-finish time frame's a bit long (at least a month), but if you're interested in talking about a portrait, feel free to email me or contact me via my etsy shop.
Another lovely piece! Well done! A technical question: Do you always rely on natural light for your photos, or is there a special kind of light you use when taking close ups of your work? All of your pics look so crisp, and I find that I have trouble with this inside.
It's a combination of natural light, photo editing, and a really good camera. Plus I take tons of shots and select the best ones. I still take plenty of bad photos, especially with all this rain we're having!
great
I love this portrait- it is so full of life:)
Lyra is incredible! I love this portrait.
