Kinto is finished!

Kinto is finished as far the painting goes. This afternoon or early tomorrow I will spray the sealant on and that will make the colors come out even more. The sealant will have to dry for a couple of days before I can ship the package out on Monday. I will post a prettier final photo of Kinto this weekend with a nice background when the sealant on the rock is completely dry.

I really enjoyed painting this commission for Rachel Quatkemeyer. Kinto was a very special member of her family and this will be a memorial for them to keep forever. I was honored to paint him for her and her family.

Rachel made a beautiful video of Kinto and his prestigious bloodline and has it on Facebook. I really wanted to post it here on my blog so everyone could see, but the link doesn't work on my blog. Maybe she can transfer it to YouTube, then it would work. I'll have to ask her.

It's getting close to supper so that's all for today. Tomorrow and over the weekend I will be doing some sketching for other customers and some new ideas for the gallery, so I won't be painting.

Have a great evening and thank you to all of the people that visit my site every day and for all the new commissions I am receiving this year! You all keep me motivated and inspired to try new things and I can't thank you enough!
