This is the painting - or, rather the back of it. I promise to turn the canvas when the painting is done. For now, although I have started, I am still half way in the consideration stage, where I keep changing my mind, and changing it back...
As mentioned recently - I am back in my old room on the Danish West coast, settled in and ready to get started on some new work. I don’t know why it always takes me quite a while to start painting in new surroundings. Possibly because everything else has to be in place, before I have the focus and inner peace to get going. I must have found it, the peace and focus, because I have started my first little painting. A personal pet portrait, commissioned as a Christmas present. A few key words are: VERY cute little dachshund, silver, blue, lots of nick names and Royal Copenhagen...
A deadline can a very good and helpful thing, and in this case I think it helped me getting started right NOW, and not in a week. I love the process of making a painting, building it up in my mind, considering and debating... but sometimes actually getting to it can be a bit intimidating. But when I do, I love it! Why is that?
Well... the holidays are coming up - and so I wanted to give an idea for a present for the pet lover who already has EVERYTHING: a personal Customized Pet Portrait! With December just around the corner, I can’t make it in time, but I can indeed offer a gift certificate, and that way the pet owner can have a say in the finished piece...
