A Good Morning to All

Good morning from my studio in East Nashville. I hope everyone is having a great day. My family health situation is ongoing, though improving. I’ve been able to get some work done, and have finished one portrait but cannot post it until after it is given as a gift. I’m always honored that a work I did is given to someone. I always hope it brings them joy.

So here’s another pet portrait from the archives. I work from photos, so the final look of the portrait depends on the quality and clarity of the photo. You’ve seen some of the portraits that are very crisp and detailed. Others are softer and looser. This one is one of the soft ones due to the reference photo. I usually like to put in a lot of detail and be almost photorealistic, but I also like the soft portraits; they have a good “feel.” Let me know which you prefer.

Thanks for looking. Have a great day and stay safe.
