Commissioned Painting

Sara and Duke, 24 x 18, oil on canvas

I don't paint many commissioned painting (especially portraits) I only accept a few commissions each year. But when one of my very first collectors from Way Back When asked me and presented me with a wonderful photograph from which to work, I couldn't say no. I'm pleased with the results.
