joyful family

Here is a painting I recently did as a commission for a family celebrating a new baby, and a birthday. The prayer is one for children, that they say to their baby. I really enjoyed painting this, and trying to express their joy and love for each other with the paint. Its quite big, which is also a departure from the little guys Ive been doing. Actually it was a really welcome relief.
I am taking commissions like these, email me (angie(at)lilacwindow(dot)com) if you are interested. I’ve done a few now, and they seem to be rather popular…

Oh, this is pure love!! Is it water colour? C&S must adore it! Definitely hitting you up for a commission next chance I get!

Oh, thanks so much. Yes its water colour. My medium of choice right now. I so love doing the calligraphy with prayers, it seems to charge the painting, and me too! I dont really consider myself a portrait artist, but representing family love is such a thrill!
