Muskoka was a commissioned piece for a Christmas present that I completed awhile back. I did a few thumbnail sketches, some studies of the features and finally started the real drawing. I can honestly say while I was working on Muskoka's eye, I was holding my breath. Sometimes I have had to scrap the drawing in the past because the eyes were not correct. The eyes, in my opinion, are the most important feature on a face. The rest of Muskoka's features were easier and everything went smoothly. The framed picture above is hanging in the clients house and now decorates their bedroom. I am grateful to the person who commissioned me for this portrait and wishing them many years of happiness with their picture.
I have also been exceptionally busy with preparing for my solo show in March. I have not posted my art work at this time because I want to keep people in suspense. (for a little while at least) Just to let everyone know, I have been working very hard, getting up early and working long hours. I have cut back on some teaching because I am a slow worker and need all the time I can spare on my art. I have been doing many thumbnail sketches, studies (loads of them) and my pictures are a good size. I may from time to time post some of my studies up in the near future. Tomorrow I start the whole day over again and hopefully I start working at six like I did this morning.
