Christmas Commissions

With Christmas over, I think it's safe to share with you some of the work that was commissioned for Christmas. I had several hand-painted resin pendant necklaces and oil paint portraits on gallery-wrapped canvas to work on in the months leading up to Christmas. I had so many paintings to work on that I actually had to stop accepting new portrait commissions, and unfortunately had to start turning people away. I really enjoy working on commissions, and it saddened me greatly to be unable to accept all commissions. Hopefully next year people will get their commissions in earlier. With Valentine's Day coming up, and then Mother's Day a few months later, I already have a few commissioned works to create in January.

Anyway, here are some of the commissioned hand-painted resin pendant necklaces that I created for this holiday season.

I also had a plethora of oil paint portrait Christmas commissions to complete, and I enjoyed creating every single one of them. Here are a few of them.
