Commissioned Work

I've been journaling my new work for many months now on my website at: http://arlissavaughn.com/journal.html - but I will start posting those journal entries here too.

For now, I'll share my work for today. Starting a commissioned painting of orchids. Began with a sketch, then drew it onto the canvas, and now the background texture color coat is drying. I may do two background texture coats, but should hopefully begin the "real" painting tomorrow evening! :) I'm also working on another commissioned work which is a tree silhouette against a sunset. Seems very cliche, but you gotta do what you gotta do for a commission! The guy's son took a photo of this in Australia and the painting is to commemorate his trip. This photograph and only a few others were worth turning into a painting, so here it goes.
