Last Commission for 2010 and a very Merry Christmas to all!!!

Beagle
Commissioned by the Coin Club of Australia
Painted with Corel Painter
My final commission for 2010 and all ready for Christmas - what a wonderful feeling. This year has been such a busy year, (as I'm sure it has for all of you), as I searched for a sense of direction and purpose with my art. The illustration work, thankfully has taken off and this helps to pay the bills and provides that sense of 'purpose', but my goal for next year is to have more balance. Balance between the 'bread and butter' work and then time to work on the art I love doing the most, which at this stage is the miniature art and the coloured pencil work, and finally balance for the people in my life, which were sadly a bit neglected this year.
To all of you, I wish the most wonderful Christmas full of blessings, love and laughter with the people you love the most and may 2011 bring much success and happiness to each one of you.

God Bless us everyone! This is beautiful Karen. I never paint on pure white backgrounds. Your work has me wondering why. They are gorgeous!

Deb - your work doesn't need changing at all - it is just perfect how it is. I am about to launch a series with all coloured backgrounds just for fun - it is nice to have some variety now and then! - Merry Christmas Deb :)
