I'm still getting the odd private commission; I received this message this morning from a lady who'd just unpacked my painting of her house. She told me a few minutes ago that I am welcome to share it and her comments around:
"It's arrived! And, I LOVE it, thank you so much... this is a gift to my husband and he was gobsmacked!"
I'd originally envisaged a narrower canvs so as not to have to have so much lawn along the bottom, but I could only get a size 16x20". It may have been for the best after all. Getting the three mutts in was a challenge; all from diverse photographs and taken at different angles and lighting (and she wanted them right where I've put them... so small too). People expect miracles sometimes, but I usually get by
