Jewel-Like Treasures

This is a second commission for @oldecrowantiques that I thoroughly enjoyed creating. He beautifully restores antique clocks (as well as furniture). This clock belongs to a good friend of his (he took a photo and sent it to me); and we decided to use it because of the wonderful detail on it. I love the way it turned out and so does he!

This is Davis. His mother took this photo just after he finished eating his very first cupcake (yellow cake with chocolate frosting). She couldn't get bites to him fast enough--his mouth was always open like a baby bird as he leaned toward her. That stare--might he perhaps be coming off a sugar rush? I'm calling this one "Sugar Gaze".

A little break from drawing architecture. This is "Glitter Girl". Avery got into her Grammy's makeup, tan powder with sparkly gold glitter in it. She had it everywhere--face, arms, legs, feet (she left little tan footprints everywhere she walked), hair, floor. And, as only a two-year-old can, she joyfully told her mother, "I got glitter," I screen-captured a still photo from the video her mom, Sarah, took from which to work.

Beautiful shady home, a surprise gift for my client's wife.

Another drawing from New Bern when I was on the Rural Studio tour. I previously drew it when I was facing this wall straight on. Now we’ve got “Side Shadows”. Available: Image, 9” x 6”, $1,300, framed

I really enjoy drawing windows with reflections. The window is in an older building in downtown Montgomery in the inner courtyard. Available: Image, 7 1/4" x 4 1/8", $765, framed
