Well, I did it! I finished my last commission for 2014, as promised. This was no easy task. It's a big one full of hand work; a remake of From Humble Beginnings. A client asked for her own version of it. I said yes... and later I really wondered how on earth I would create that building again!? But I did it! It worked and I am breathing a happy sigh of relief.

commission for the building on Bergheim road |
I made the first version of this just before my Winnipeg show 2 years ago. One of my favourite people in the world owns it. It was very satisfying to recreate it. It's a little different from the first in both the sky and the foliage. The first version has a darker foreground. This one has a brighter foreground. Of course, I added those fat honey bees that were hanging off the alfalfa where I was kneeling down for the photo. ; )
Now to email her the final results, and then I can ship it to her on Monday. I hope she loves it.
Happy Winter Holidays everyone!
See you on the flipside.
It's one of my favourites, that scene with the barn. It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow could she not! It is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Monica! I have a barn in mind that I've been wanting to do too. The textures are so yummy.
ReplyDeleteHappy Solstice to you and your family.
Gorgeous Monika. Hope you have a lovely Christmas. xx
