My sister requested a piece of art that could be laminated and put up on her classroom wall. I chose to illustrate from two texts that she taught, and two of her favorite pieces. A friend commissioned this for her daughter’s room. She wanted it to be a mural, but due to my severe cat allergies, she kindly let me paint it on canvas at my home. The gist of the piece was a cartoon princess rescuing herself from her castle, no prince needed. A gift for a friend of the commissioner. A long term project my mum commissioned for her sewing room/kids room. It still isn’t quite finished, as she wants vertical blinds painted to resemble a fence gate. Also not included in this picture is the robin on the gate’s jamb. This is a horrible photograph, by the way. Next year I will take a good shot of it. Or better yet, get my brother to do so!
