Two commissions that I just finished:
This one is a portrait of the buyer’s sister. She was a schoolteacher in Scotland, and is retiring this year. Her sister has built a miniature of her classroom as a gift for her, and had me make the portrait doll of her sister to put in it. The freaky thing is that the doll looks a lot like my mom.
This fellow just shipped out yesterday to a lady in California. She’s the same one who ordered a bathtub cowboy from me earlier in the year. She asked for a 1920s “matinee idol guy, sort of like Clark Gable.” I think he works. I cut up one of Jim’s black dress shirts I filched out of the closet to make his tux. He’ll never miss it.
