renee's picture

Now that Christmas has passed I can start showing you the commissions I was working on during the last few months of last year.

The first was a commission for the lovely Renee in Canada. She wanted a picture to give to her baby granddaughter Josephine for Christmas, (although if Renee's generosity towards me is anything to go by, I doubt that's all Josephine was given for Christmas, hehehe).

This was a special commission. One that took me ages to know where to begin, one that needed to carry a great deal. But one that I knew needed to be joyous at the same time.

I won't say too much more than that... I'll just show you instead.

Renne's Pic

A and D - detail

Josephine  - detail

Renee's Flock  - detail
The words written on the pages of the books are from this post that Renee wrote about her granddaughter, that to me summed it all up.

I hope Josephine loves it! :)

Wow, that is so so beautiful flossy. I love the cut paper layered effect, and the casual repose of the parents which you have captured so perfectly. What a gorgeous and special present!

The work you created for my mom (Renee), my sister and my niece is truly amazing. I noticed the reference to the blog content as well as what I think was a note on our ability and inability to control fate.

It continues to amaze me how artists have the ability to capture the essence of a family unit - the present, past and future through media.

You are truly gifted.

Sincerely
