Happy Trompe l'oeil Tuesday! Here is a painting completed just last night. This of course is a 78 rpm Elvis Presley record and it marks the 40th painting completed since I received my BFA. Some of these letters on the label are of the smallest I have painted - only 1/32" tall!
The second piece in something I've been holding on to for awhile since it was a commissioned wedding gift from my Aunt Cindy to my now Uncle Jeff. Before they met, my Aunt Cindy found out about Jeff and quickly wrote those things down on a Post-It note. She held on to it and when Cindy and Jeff got engaged, she wanted to preserve this Post-It note in painting form. They were married last Friday and I can now post this painting as finished work. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Holmes!
