After nearly two months since my last post, it's good to be back to my blog! Even though I haven't been posting, I have been painting alot! This is a recent painting I did as a gift for a niece and her husband who married in July. I can't say how much I enjoyed painting this! I don't think there's anything quite as wonderful as painting someone you love--I swear I was smiling the whole time!

Commissions of this sort are welcome!!

I've been working on this painting the last couple of days which is of a couple from a wedding I attended last month. Besides the subjects, I was attracted to this scene because of the lighting and the challenge of the skin tones. The table was sparkling with the light coming from behind as the bride and groom were listening to toasts being offered to them. The wedding was at a vineyard outside of Livermore, CA. A beautiful setting and evening!

Though illustration work and teaching are taking up most of my time these days, I managed to get to work on this little painting of my niece and her new husband at their wedding reception as a gift for them. As always, it was so good to paint! Can't believe how much I miss it! Oh well, paychecks are good, too!
