At the beginning of the summer of 2019 I gladly accepted a commission to paint another She Dances. It’s a truly wonderful experience to paint an art work that has been requested because soimeone loves an artwork you created.  Dimitri and his mom Liz came to my home studio and commissioned an acrylic painting.  Here are photos of the process. Throughout the creation of this painting I would think of where she would be living, in the apartment of Dimitri and his girlfriend, Angela.  As I painted I wished many blessings upon them and their home.  It is my

commissioned art process
