new from my studio!

I just finished up this custom artwork which I created for a client who loves to bake pie (and her husband and daughter who love to eat it!). This was a big piece at 18x24. It was fun to work that large and I LOVED working on this theme!!

To complete the family portrait we included their son who passed away. We decided to feature him in a photo frame in the background so he can be represented with the family too. This was such a fun piece to work on and the client loved it too.

Here's what she said: I adore the piece and can't wait to receive it! Thanks so much for your speedy work and phenomenal creativity. It was a pleasure to work with you. Thanks again!

This is such a fun, lively piece. You managed to communicate so much here, a family's dynamic and loves. Brilliant how you kept their son in the picture, literally and figuratively.

SO fun! So fabulous!
So if you do a custom piece for me, can I request to be made a size 4? :)
