Margaret's Paintings

This is a new custom piece that I came up with when a friend asked me to create a painting for her. All I needed was the colors and I took it from there. If you are interested in something like this send me an email and I can give you a quote! I am very reasonable with my prices and I rather enjoy what I do so I can have it done fast!

Hello!

I haven’t posted a blog in while so I thought I might share my latest painting. This is “Chico”! He belongs to my step daughter Trinity. It was Trin’s 11th birthday this past weekend and I painted this for her. I love creating gifts for my family and Trinity holds a special place in my heart. She loves animals and is always so appreciative of everything we do for her. She is a great kid! 

“Chico” was painted on a 14″ x 14″ canvas. This is not the size I commonly use. I will be offering this size at a smaller price for those of you who might be on a budget. Email me for details!

Thanks for stopping by and look out for my newest paintings by following my blog.

          Since Christmas is fast approaching and I know that the spending can get a bit crazy this time of year, I have decided to offer a new service. I created some charcoal drawings that can be done fast and are fairly cost efficient. Message me if you are interested in this option! I would love to help you get someone a very special and personal gift this Christmas.

 Recently a co-worker of mine asked me to create a painting of his parents to give to his mother for Christmas. His father has since passed and he felt that she would really appreciate such a unique gift.  Naturally I agreed, but it wasn’t until I saw the photograph of his parents and the spirit in which this painting would be done that I felt great excitement for the task at hand. “Task” really isn’t the word, this was a gift.

As I studied the photograph for days and visualized how I would recreate this image of his parents I was reminded of my own family. I was reminded of all the beautiful images of happy times, new beginnings and all the treasures that each family photograph holds.

When I was painting this picture of a happy couple on a happy day and I focused in on the details of the smile I felt a presence. I knew that this was special and that when my friend would see the finished work he would be moved to tears as I was when I started this project.

In the spirit of the holiday season I wanted to share this with you. It brought me great joy and satisfaction to deliver it today so that my friend would have it to give to his mother on Christmas. I can’t help but think his father was the presence that I felt while creating this gift.

Merry Christmas!

I was commissioned to create a painting with a “mexican” theme and this is what I have so far. Check it out!
