Two paintings for gifts

I made these two on commission. The patron had them made for two of her bridesmaids. The men in the paintings have both passed away, so I felt some pressure. Also, the photographs I had to work from were small and poorly lit.

Full scale portraits

My friend Kate used to paint in oils these really large figures. We did a show together, so as a joke, I made a watercolor painting of her six and a half feet tall. I liked it a lot, so I made another and another.
I would really like to make some more as commissions. This is my most recent one, done on w/c canvas for the Davis's.
