Since starting my art site in January, I have been requested to paint so many animals and other things that I've never painted before. Yoda, a red-eyed tree frog, a BMW race car, an okapi, a giraffe, an alpaca, a llama, guinea pigs, a lion, a fox, a dinosaur doorstop, a Whippet dog, a Halloween scene rock, and many more; including Milly the rat that I'm painting right now.
All of the requests (commissions) have pushed me further in my painting skills and kept me out of my comfort zone which is really good. My skills as an artist have been tested and I have learned so much more by painting all these new things.
It's funny that years ago I was too intimidated to jump from pencil/charcoal drawing to painting. It was a rough transition and another learning curve that took some time. Now, it just seems second nature to paint instead of draw.
The only subject I won't paint is people. I never mastered the art of painting people, but I can draw people in pencil and charcoal although rather challenging to get an exact likeness. I'll stick to my furry friends, reptiles, and still life!
Thank you to all of my customers and all the people that visit my site daily! I really appreciate it! It has taken me 45 years to get to this point and you all have helped turn my dream into a reality!
