I have started painting on a commissioned work for a customer in Toronto. A pair of paintings, a diptych, dedicated to their 2 boys.
This is codenamed IGY-1. Acrylic on Canvas, size 24 x 30 in.
DETAIL (GOODIES BY THE SEA)
Sailboat "Odyssey" is parked by the pier while the Captain have lunch with friends at Crabby Joe's.
Hope you enjoy looking at my paintings and thank you for visiting.
Please drop by again in the future to see my next painting.
God bless.

Close-up shot of the Pizzeria; the kids watch as Master Chef Piccolino shows off his skill in flipping dough.
Meanwhile, a cat welcomes you at Ginger's Bread House... you can almost smell the aroma of delicious baked goodies!
GOODIES BY THE SEA
I have now completed almost 90% of the elements on the ground. Next to paint are the boats and the family going to a picnic on the foreground.

"BEARTHOVEN"
My finished design for "Spirit Bears in the City" Project.I had lots of fun... also arms and backaches embellishing this bear... found out this is completely different from doing a painting on a flat canvas. One has to be a contortionist to paint it... kneeling, squatting, lying on the floor, climbing on a ladder... but the result is all worth it.
Thanks to TP Systems and BC Lions Society for giving me the opportunity to participate in this charitable project.
DETAIL (BEARTHOVEN)
The ruffles are actually cut out ends from a nylon lace curtain, sewn on grosgrain ribbon and bonded to the sculpture using up several tubes of super glue.
Update: (Feb 7)
The project committee requested a revision on the ruffles... as the loose lace may not survive the outdoor elements and possible vandalism; so I reduced the amount, bonded the entire lace on the surface, then covered with several layers of clear top coat.
The ruffles are not as fluffed as pictured here but still look good. Now any vandal would need a jackhammer to remove it! LOL
DETAIL (BEARTHOVEN)
Close up shot of Bearthoven... in his preppy get-up!
The brocade effect on the coat was done by ragging several shades of gray over the base coat of charcoal gray.
The buttons are real buttons glued on with super glue, gessoed, and painted.
