Commission of Chloe

This is a commissioned work that I just completed and the steps to create the painting.

I started out with a fairly detailed pencil sketch of the puppy in graphite.  Doing a more detailed drawing first helps me establish my values before I begin the painting process.

The drawing transferred to the painting surface.  Gold and orange washes are glazed in as the warm underpainting.

    As usual, this is gorgeous. FYI, I checked out the Whistle Pik gallery and your pictures do not resolve. You might want to check it out.

    Hi all,
    This is MY Puppy, Chloe, and let me just tell you, Rebecca got her expression spot-on! This IS Chloe, No Question. It is just wonderful to have had Rebecca paint my Best little girl and in the fabulous detail that is in the finished piece. I don’t know how she does it but I’m here to tell you it is simply beautiful. (I cried when I saw it, it’s that wonderful). I can’t thank you enough..

    I love your paintings! I especially like your swan paintings. How much do your swan paintings cost? Can a person purchase your paintings through the internet?
