My latest write-up can now be seen on page 70 in the October/November issue of Professional Artist Magazine. The Basics of Creating Successful Commissions gives info on getting jobs, how to charge for your work, and the commission process itself. I also touch on how to handle changes and other snafus.
Speaking of commissions, I'm currently working on a project that involves 3 pieces. I can't wait to tell you about it but it will be awhile longer until I can!
I've also been asked to create two paintings for Christmas gifts. If you've been thinking of ordering a special piece for someone, please contact me a few months ahead of your deadline. I can put your project in the line-up. Depending on size, Christmas gifts are still a possibility.
This little painting at left is one of my favorite commission pieces I've done.
Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and sometimes finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.

It's beautiful, so softly and sensitively painted! (and dangit, I saw that magazine at Barnes and Noble the other day and I would have gotten had I know you were in it. Way to go, will pick one up asap.)
Thank you, Diane. It's nice to know you saw the pub at Barnes and Noble. I hope you can get a copy. If the bookstore is sold out, or if you prefer a digital copy, simply go to the magazine's website http://www.professionalartistmag.com/ and click on the link to buy "Current Issue".
