Little brother Bertie - the other sibling from my Little brother Bertie - the other sibling from my previous post šŸ§’šŸ¼ Second hand acrylics on 100% recycled card ā™»ļø
Most of the commissions I've been working on have Most of the commissions I've been working on have been for Christmas presents so I don't have much to show at the mo. But this was one of a set of siblings commissioned by a wife for her husband's birthday. She was a dream to paint - despite me finding the more realistic style a bit too twee to begin with. ā¤ If you fancy commissioning something, I can squeeze another couple in pre-Christmas so get in touch if you're interested in a totally unique present this year šŸŒ² Second hand acrylics on 100% recycled card from @ecocraft_ltd

When setting up CoopCouture, I wanted to make sure When setting up CoopCouture, I wanted to make sure my wedding dresses weren't single use items. My aim was to turn the bespoke artwork beaded onto each design into pieces of art. Here's one of the capes I made, inspired by geometric tattoos and stained glass windows (why not?!) hanging in our spare room. If you you'd like it in your own home, it's available via the #artistsupportpledge for Ā£175. Hand beaded silk knit on canvas. Swipe through to see the cape in action - shot by the super talented Gail Secker.
I always do the "Rory" test on a painting of someo I always do the "Rory" test on a painting of someone in the family to make sure it really looks like them. He (my nearly 2 year old) looks at the wall in my studio and shouts "Gra", "Pa", "Dada" and "Ba" (for both his bunny and my sister's rag). But he always blanks when he looks at this one. It's meant to be me, but I was working from a photo from my wedding - with makeup (which I rarely wear) and a serene expression (which I never wear). I was going to try and do more to it but if the original photo isn't very "me", the painting won't be either so he's unlikely to ever say "Mama" when he sees it. I've chosen a new pic where I'm laughing which he recognises immediately, so we'll see how that turns out... So for now I'm posting this just because I like the style šŸ™‚
When peopleĀ ask about commissioning a portrait of When peopleĀ ask about commissioning a portrait of their toddler and I send photosĀ of work over, it's nearly always this painting they want me to use as the style reference for their own child. It was only the second portrait I'd ever done back in January and I was working from quite a LoRes pic (I didn't want to ask my friendsĀ for the HiRes version in case the painting was terrible and I'd be really embarrassed!). Anyway, I loved doing it and it turns out her parents think it looks just like her šŸ˜Š If you're interested in a portrait, get in touch and I can send you more pics. I'm just drip feeding them here when I feel like it.
