Commissioned with Love

.

This piece is a commissioned work for my Dad. He wanted a larger piece with a butterfly and the word “sing” included. Everything else, he left up to me.

With Dad being a musician and singer, including some of my vintage sheet music was a no-brainer. I had fun layering different washes and spatters of paint on the background. A lot of fun…I guess that’s the fun of working with a larger canvas! The butterfly and sing came next and now all that’s left is for me to finish painting the sides black.

So here it is, Daddy! I hope it makes you smile whenever you look at it!
