Color Me K8

12/09/2025

Recently I finished this oil painting as a commission, and it marks an exciting step forward as I continue to do more work in oils alongside my colored pencil pieces. Each medium pushes me in a different way, and this piece felt especially meaningful from start to finish. Oils ask for patience, trust, and bravery, and I’m so grateful I was given the chance to create something so meaningful with this medium.

The client asked that I stay true to the muted, time-worn tones of the original reference photo of a son in a joyful moment with his mother that has since passed on. This painting was meant to hold the softness of that moment; and it was given to the clients husband as a birthday gift.

After delivery, she shared this with me, and this is exactly why I offer commissions:

"I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful painting. (He) loves it. He sat there looking at it for a moment, his eyes filled and all he could do was cry. He hung it in his man cave.”

I don’t take moments like this lightly. Being trusted with someone’s memories, emotions, and love is something I hold with so much gratitude.
So many of my commissions are created as gifts, and I have to keep them quiet to avoid spoiling the surprise. 🤫 This has been in the works since August, getting to show the finished piece once it’s been given- and knowing it’s been received with such love; makes the process feel complete and incredibly rewarding. Being able to share these moments with you all, after holding them close for so long, is something I truly appreciate.

Thank you to every person who supports my work, encourages me to keep creating, and believes in this path as much as I do. 💙🎨

As a reminder to mys customers I offer the following artistic services:

Colored pencil portraits
Oil paintings
Murals
Graphic design for your small business

I haven't posted in a while I have been really busy but I wanted to share this work and the meaning behind it with you today.

This colored pencil drawing was a deeply meaningful commission. A gift for a mother, whose own mother never got the chance to meet her son, she passed before their paths could cross.

Using two separate photographs, I was honored to bring them together here on paper- a gentle embrace between grandmother and grandson, one holding the other in a moment that never happened, but should have.

Soft tones and warm textures guide the emotion, with some soft light shining between them, bringing peace to their meeting across the boundaries of time. A quiet moment shared between the here and now, and the history that shaped them.

It was incredibly heartwarming to create this for my client, and just as heartbreaking to reflect on the loss behind it. I was reminded of my own family... my grandmother passed while my aunt was pregnant.That ache of almost, of never... it stays with you.

To my client: thank you for entrusting me with this memory. I hope this piece brings comfort and connection, and helps carry your love forward. 🤍

I sometimes get asked about the difference between smaller works and larger works of art. Here, you can see the difference in detail between two of my drawings.

Larger sizes have some advantages when it comes to intricate detail and complexity, captivating viewers with their scale. Smaller artworks are limited by the tools used but make for great keepsakes that carry a personal touch.

Larger works also look stunning on the wall, as the image takes up more visual space. I continue to offer small sizes as the most affordable option for those looking for handmade artwork. Many artists do not, but I believe art should be accessible, especially in these times when the debate around AI is so controversial and there is little protection for artists. Supporting handmade art is crucial now more than ever.
Thanks for your support. 💗

Last year I made this custom jean jacket for my niece, and I’m so excited to share it as she just grew into it! I got it oversized so it can last her a few years!!It’s a fun piece with her name painted on the back, paint brushes for the little artist, and adorable patches featuring kittens, butterflies, & of course had to add a "Girl Gang" badge to celebrate our future fierce leader. I hope she loves rocking this on her way to school✌️😎
Thank you for the picture💗✨

Layla, colored pencils, 5x7.
Just getting around to posting this commission from a while ago. As the rain delay for the art fair gave me unexpected freetime to work on some art photos today.
💗Layla was a beautiful dog who loved to tell you when it was time for bed. She lit up the house with love and kept her humans entertained with her quirky character.
Please give your fur babies an extra treat today in her memory. She is very loved and missed by her family.
Thank you to for sharing her memory with me.
