• September 29, 2008 - finally here

It's official! I've finished the painting! This was my second two-page spread illustration for The Girlhood Home Companion. It is a scene of a mom and four daughters working in the kitchen, making pumpkin pies and gingerbread people.
   
I ended up adding a border all around the outside edge so I could more easily pull in a fall color scheme. This was one of the trickiest paintings I've worked on so far because cabinetry was involved!

~here is one of the girls, the littlest of them all~
she really wanted to help make the gingerbread men!

Once it was all done (what a moment of satisfied realization that was!), I took a picture of it and Emily fixed the coloring in LightRoom. The original looks so dull compared to the final edit we settled on. I hope Mrs. Novak likes it!

If you would light to own your own copy of the magazine this will be featured in, just click here to order!

I will get back to posting more lessons soon!

Great painting as always Breezy! I esp. liek this one because I love cooking with my 3 daughters (and occasionally 2 sons, too!) I don't the story behind this picture but it would be so cute to stick a small boy in the background sticking a finger in the mixing bowl to sneak a taste. :)

Have a wonderful week!
