Evelyns house portrait
I don't think people realize how many steps go into a commission painting you meet the client you take photographs you agree to a price you create sketches until both of you are happy
Here is the stage and what you have to do color swatches to figure out which color green is going to go where. That was the challenge here since there was so much green how to approach it and how to make each tree look delicious! 
This is the final work of the house portrait many hours of layering the watercolor so it would remain fresh. I added a lot of water with each wash I'm happy with the final product but again it's always what the client likes. Note the cat in the door way this was a special touch that I knew the homeowner would like. I'm pleased what do you think?
Now I think I ve got to go get to holiday shopping and cooking since I have over 20 people coming for the holidays! Enjoy!
