I asked the customer of this commissioned oil painting of an orange grove with his urchins if he wanted a wind machine, and he replied, “No, let’s go old school”. 

I asked him, “What? You want smudge pots??”

After we laughed, I told him that I just needed to add orange blossoms and do a bit more work on the urchins. He is very easy to work with, and was pleased with the progress.

These little blossoms are indeed little.

One would think that white would be the right color. One would be wrong.

These look white, but they are more of a pale beige. White was much too stark. (This is why I get paid the big bucks.)

Hours later, still a lot of real estate on this canvas to be covered in little pale beige dots.

Closing in on it. . .

Finished and signed.

And ready for the customer, once it is completely dry!

Another piece of custom art for the archives. . . because. . .

I use pencils, oil paints, and murals to make art that people can understand of places and things they love for prices that won’t scare them.
