This is a commissioned piece which was started en plein air in October. I had sketched the composition in oil one afternoon and had it standing very unfinished in my Studio de Michel. A buyer came in and saw it and asked, "Is this finished?" I told her it was not. She commissioned me to finish it. It is a 16" x 20" oil painting of the Inn Ste Gemme Beauvais, now being restored after a fire in February. This Ste Genevieve landmark sits across the street from my Studio de Michel. SOLD.

Inn Ste Gemme Beauvais
This is a commissioned piece which was started en plein air in October. I had sketched the composition in oil one afternoon and had it standing very unfinished in my Studio de Michel. A buyer came in and saw it and asked, "Is this finished?" I told her it was not. She commissioned me to finish it. It is a 16" x 20" oil painting of the Inn Ste Gemme Beauvais, now being restored after a fire in February. This Ste Genevieve landmark sits across the street from my Studio de Michel. SOLD.
The Southern Hotel
This is a commissioned oil painting, 11" x 14", of the famous Ste Genevieve landmark, the Southern Hotel at the corner of Third and Market Streets. SOLD.The Old Academy
It has been a few weeks since I have published any posts. The reason for this is that I have been working on several paintings. Hopefully you will enjoy these. This is a 10" x 14" plein air oil painting started in a workshop with Michael Anderson in October. A buyer saw it unfinished and commissioned me to finish it. SOLD.

Five Paintings Sold Today!

A woman came in and bought 2 finished paintings, "The Hotel Entrance" and "The Main Street Inn". Then she asked me to finish 2 that were in process, "The Inn Ste Gemme Beauvais" and the "Old Academy". Then she commissioned me to paint the Southern Hotel. Thank you for your support (pictures of the new work will be posted soon).

Commissions - huh?
In the last week (twice today), I have been commissioned to make three paintings!
The first commission came last weekend. A Ste Genevieve resident came into the Studio with two of her friends. They talked to me about painting a picture of her home. I offered to take some pictures of the house in the morning light. The next day, her friend came in and commissioned me to do a 10¨ x 14¨ oil painting of the house. I am still working on getting the right picture with the right light.
Today, a couple staying at a local B&B came in and looked at a 12¨x 14¨ painting I had started last fall of the B&B they were staying in. They asked me to paint the same scene in a 5¨x 7¨ size. We agreed on a price and a two week time frame. I finished the painting today! It sold for $50 framed.
Later, another couple from New Jersey came into the Studio. Their daughter was performing in a musical in town at the Orris Theater. They want a watercolor of the theater explaining that they have a wall of mementos of all the places their daughter performed.
This was a week of commissions! I haven't been commissioned since I was twelve.
