last 3 weeks.

as the children grow.

several recent commissions ...with these behind us, we are both working on new projects. chad is finishing up a house portrait....this will be a new listing in the shop soon! i managed to sell a couple of ready made paintings that i had for sale and i am happy that the new owners are pleased with their purchases : )

more watercolors and paper people.

been a busy couple of weeks....
this is what we have finished so far.

i decided to raise the prices a bit on my sihouettes.
they have become quite popular...i love making them!

finished projects.

a portrait commission in watercolor for chad and a silhouette for me. the buyer ended up wanting the chin 'streamlined' and opted for cream paper. she also asked to have her daughters name and the date under the silhouette in addition to my signature on front. we are so glad to wrap up these projects....happy weekend!
