Commission Progression

Happy Tuesday Art Fam-
Having received a commission last week or so from Jessie Runsvoldt
Bought 4 good size 24x36 stretched Canvas
and about 8 new request colors to use in the direction of "Tropical" and "Hispanic feel".

I started out with a handful of sketches toward my initial take's for idea and composition.

Here are the first stages of the 4 canvas i started the day i got them, with no photos looked at to harvest composition or idea…just goin' at it!

Heres the second layers…

And the Third Layers

in these next 4th and fifth layers i picked up 4 more 24x36" stretched canvas,
sensing i needed to let the first 4 marinate…and also come back at the commission from another angle.

I love the freedom to paint expressive abstractions, what i used to call "Feelism"- Functioning purely on instinct…When letting the muse lead, the composition's discovered. Juxtapositions and inner meanings are more than could ever have been planned for:)

Here are the first few stages of the next 3 canvas started in the direction of One Painting Jessie will have fallen in Love with:)  Thats always the hope as an artist, finding someone who will provide a good home for our work, ideas or maybe ultimately memories?
(I started all 4.. but i found one i wanted to paint that was vertical…i felt it had some tropical pizzaz.
I will share a picture at the end:)

so here we are…7 paintings started in hopes one will be perfect!
None are done, yet:)... I'm 3-4 days in.

I started with 4 Canvas Panel Palettes and 2 other stretched linen/canvas that i used feeling out the color's a bit more:)  Heres a few pictures of the 2… not sure if either are done…but i think the less skinny one may be done.
