I apologize that the quality of these photos aren’t better. It was a commissioned piece for my stepsister of my nephew, Jax. I gave it to them at the family Thanksgiving. She showed it to Jaxon who smiled and pointed at it making a happy noise. She asked who it was and he said, “daddy”. He does look a lot like his dad!
My friend asked me what I call this new technique I’ve been doing. All I could think of was rainbow explosion drawings. There’s probably a better one out there…
That is so cool!!! And beautiful! Nice job, Harper~!!!
Thanks! It was really fun. There was a moment when it stopped looking like him and I got really nervous. But then it came back to looking like him again- phew!
It is so light and has so much energy–it makes me want to breathe it in! It puts me in mind of friend and mentor Margaret Andersen’s work–and that’s a nice place to be–beautiful!
Is that Margaret from MN? Who we had hanging in our house? If so, that’s a great compliment. If not, I need to look her up!
I am Jaxon’s great grandmother and that portrait is just beautiful/ it looks just like him.
Thank you! I am so glad it captures him. It was a joy to draw.
That’s our Jaxon! Love the colors, composition, and how well you captured him. From Facebook, it looks like a lot of people are interested in commissioning you. Congrats.
Thank you! I would love that, I hope to do many more!
This is so beautiful! I love your new technique.
Thanks! It’s a lot of fun.
