A good friend of mine contacted me recently asking if I could make a painting of his girlfriend, who is a competitive rower, to give to her parents for Christmas. I normally don't like doing commissions, but I think it's a good thing to be pushed outside of your comfort zone every now and then.
I just added these two acrylic paintings to my Etsy shop. These were created just prior to me switching over to oils. I often think of pulling out the acrylic paints and giving them another go, but I just really like the feel, the texture and honestly, the smell of the oils.
