Almost Christmas

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. Hope everyone is doing well on this gloomy December day. Christmas is almost upon us. I’m working hard to finish all my Christmas commission portraits. I’m clearly going to make the deadlines; then I’ll take a few weeks off to catch up on all the other things I’ve been neglecting. I do love this time of year, though. I’m always happy to help people with the portraits.

Speaking of which, here’s Bear. This is a memorial portrait. I had the honor of delivering it myself and meeting the lovely lady who had Bear. The painting was a gift from her daughter, and she was very happy to get it. I hope the painting makes a difference for her.

Thanks for looking, enjoy, and stay safe.
