Now I have the 4 Elements completed.  This version of "Water" is much calmer and more what I had in mind then the first version I did last month.   Now I'm ready to move on to the Seasons - Directions and many more paintings that are allegorical in nature.

Finally.....the final version of "Fire" for my element series.  I had created the first version earlier this month....using the same pose but different flame; hair....it just wasn't the vision I had in my head.  This is more like it. I'll be making Giclee Prints later this spring for art shows.  Meantime, I may go ahead and post her on my Fine America site so you can order prints online. The site URL is on my website homepage.

This piece is a commissioned portrait that was created by using reference digital photo from client.  These pups were actually sitting farther apart in photo.  Using artistic license, I moved them closer together and had them sitting in grassy area .  It would be GREAT to do more pet portrait work.  I really enjoyed creating this painting.

Merry Christmas from the Lammert's

Tis the Season

Yep....no picture....not yet!  Can't share what I've been working on until AFTER Christmas :)

Working on custom artwork has been a priority for the last few weeks (along with battling a nasty cold bug).
So, I hope you'll come back after the 26th to see new works.  Here's hoping you celebrate the upcoming holidays the way you want to ........
Merry Christmas and here's to looking forward to a prosperous New Year.
