Recent commission

[sawduster]

Quite a while back I did a portrait for one of our members to commemorate someone dear to them for a very special achievement in their life. Recently the recipient of that piece contacted me in order to surprise someone who was instrumental in helping make that happen and holds a special place for them still . This one was not without it's challenges, but the client offered excellent input and ideas and eventually we had a piece we could both be proud of :mrgreen: I have their permission to post the original and the final piece

Welcome back to the flatside, it so good to see you haven't lost that artistic talent of yours.

You are indeed a rare artisan in that you produce wonderful work but do not fit the "temperamental" artist mold and you work with folks. :wsmile:

Great job! I still need to learn to make a pattern from a photo. Several years ago a fellow scroller VERY slowly walked me through the process, but I didn't do enough to remember how.
