(ps. my client viewed it today here and online for the first time and had two enthusiastic thumbs up...whew..: ) I don't usually show my commissions here, but these two are charming. To be married soon. Rebecca was a professional cheerleader for one of the most well known Pro football teams and Jason is a firefighter : ) ...I don't know them and hope i captured a bit of their personality... i worked from a 3"x3" photo and turned it into a 14x17 work..the buyer agreed to go with a looser less detailed style since that was her only photo and it was impossible for me to create unknown details.... A wedding gift with an accompanied poem too be framed today as a set ... Graphite/heavy Bristol/ 14"x17" PS..i have a new camera and yet to have mastered its advanced features.. thanks to everyone whos written me offering to help..i've been so busy with so much i havent sat down and studied the manual and math yet... but i may take you up on help later : )
