Handsome Jacob Commission

My best client just published the portrait on Facebook so I thought I'd go ahead and post here as well!

"Happy Jacob" 11x14 charcoal on toned paper

His parents are my friends on Facebook so I get the pleasure of being greeted by this happy spirit's great smiles. His father has been a loyal return client since ...1999? Wow a whole decade at least! I am so happy that Ron and his wife Katharine have been blessed with Jacob because I get blessed too as I watch him grow!

I thought I had more WIP (work in progress) photos than these. My main camera died on me around that time so I guess that's what happened. Here is a short slide show... Thanks Red for showing me (finally hahaha) how to do this Picasa feature! xxxx

A wish for a cheery Christmas!

Here's wishing you the happiest of holidays and a blessed New Year! See you in 2011!!!!
