Small Oil Commission - Oak Forest In Fall

 

    
"Fox In The Oaks"- Commisiioned oil on copper 6 x 8" copyright 2018 www.kathipeters.com

First commission of the year is finished and framed, ready to ship out next week to its new home. Usually a commission portray a clients favorite equine friend, a four legged fur-kid, canine or feline, or a person. Yes, and  I have even painted an osprey with his nest for a repeat client......but painting an oil of an oak forest, that was out of the client imagination, was a first! We worked together , virtually 'putting our heads together" and this is the forest that she envisioned and I captured. She wanted an oil on copper and so that is what I went with. A sneaky fox was added into the mix. The painting came together and we are all happy.
 
Our winter has been hard so far. The older I get, the harder it is to maintain a horse farm and pursue my art endeavors. I've been dibbing and dabbing at work.....painting more works in my head than what have been actually put to canvas or paper. I've painted a lot in my sleep too. But I imagine that doesn't count in one's actual body of work.  I know spring is coming. So stay tuned.
I will paint!
 
And if you are so inclined as to pursue my producing a commissioned work for your walls.......your vision.....let's talk. I am easy to work with.
