I am done revamping my website. I have long struggled with how to separate out artwork for sale and artwork already sold that I still want to display. I think this solution is reasonably elegant. I have also changed my links to image links.

I have 5 commissions to complete.

1. The first, a series of pond animals, partially painted on the mats in the same style I do my frogs in. I have made good progress with this one. It will be completed end of January.
2. The second will be a very large piece. I still don't know the motif but I think I have nailed down the style and colors. Next step is to stretch the canvas 36x24 inches.
3. The third is a sweet beach scene with a small child and a dog. A proud grandma will be surprised with this watercolor on her birthday later this spring.
4. The fourth is a picture of Sachi, a cat with personality. I will do her in lovely amber shades, very loose wet-upon-wet.
5. Finally, I just agreed to do 4 little Xray fish for a customer who already owns one of my Xray fish originals, bought back in 2005. These fish really do best in a group, so I am delighted to add some friends to that one lonesome guy.

I have ideas to persue for juried shows later this spring. I need to buy a gold fish and take reference photos.
