Bear and Bird Commission + My Bday
My lovely friend Amanda (owner of Bear + Bird Boutique and Gallery) commissioned me to make a painting: bear, bird and girl. I made two rough sketches, Amanda asked me to combine them (she liked the trees, mushrooms and bear of the second sketch and the girl and birds from the first one.)
The medium is acrylics + coloured pencils on wood, 7" x 10". I really enjoyed doing this. I'm very happy that Amanda already liked it, hooray! Take a look at these details and full scanned image.
Thanks for everything, Amanda! By the way, do you know this little chubby girl, who blew those candles on a pink cake? That's me (old photo). Today is my birthday. I'm now 27 years old. I'm grown up! Happy Birthday to me! *winks*
Anyway, I'm going to my mama's apartment tonight after celebrating my dinner birthday party. I'll take care of her 'coz she got flu. I should get better soon, I got anemia and upset stomachache!!!
Good night and sweet dreams!

The combination of those two sketches made such a beautiful composition! We love your acrylics paintings, they are truly magical. Fantastic work on the colour, textures and details. That sky is pure joy!!
