Granny and Bud

Yesterday I did a painting of my Grandparents for my mom (her mom and dad).  It was painted from an old photograph of the two of them taken back in the early 1940's. It has always been one of my favorite pictures of them. I never had the pleasure of meeting my grandfather since he died before I was born. But I did have the chance to spend the majority of my life with my grandmother before she passed a few years ago. She is truly missed.Wish I could have known him as well.  I was wanting to give her something for Mother's Day and decided I would paint something for her. I came across this picture and decided I would paint it for her. When I was done painting it, I framed it and hung it in her room next to her bed. I think she really likes it. Well she said she did. :)

Adventure Time Birthday Commission

I thought today would be a great day to update my blog since I haven't in a LONG time. I had a commission for a birthday party I have been working on for my nephew's 4th Birthday coming up this June. Theme for the party is a cartoon called Adventure Time that plays on Cartoon Network.  Here is my work.

I had a great time with this commission. It was fun painting all the crazy characters from this cartoon. Its the first time I had ever seen the characters myself. But they were fun to paint because they are so original and different. Lots of fun and personality with each character. I have to say, cartoons have changed alot since I was young.
