18 x 24 Oil on Linen
SOLD-Private Collection
This painting was a really special experience for me and I loved doing it and learned a ton about commissions and about myself. The commission was for someone’s birthday present and I was honored to be asked. I met with the collector and talked all about what she wanted and what her vision was and I felt like I had a really good understanding of that. I think that is so important to have that connection. I worked so hard to get this just right and worried that I had captured what she wanted. I knew the moment she saw the painting and started crying that I had done good. She loves it and felt I captured each child and the connection between the three just perfectly. Mission accomplished and Happy Birthday Kathy:)
I had lots of help and encouragement on this. What a wonderful art world I live in from Laurel who let me use her background photo- to Jim for guiding me through and giving me major thumbs up to Leslie, Kelley and all my art friends. I treasure you all on My Journey.

Kathy have to say that this is perhaps my favorite of all your paintings. Each painting we create has a story, not only about about our chosen subject but about “the artist” as well. Congratulations on passing another bend in the road on your artistic journey.

Very lovely, Kathy, I love the roadway that they are on, as if they are traveling through life together.

I LOVE this! figures are a favorite of mine anyway…and you captured the essence of these children. Of course you have become a master at landscape and it is rendered perfectly. I just love it!

Just beautiful and I love reading the story that goes along with it! It sounds like the collector will treasure your painting and that is one of the great things about being an artist.
