Let me know if you want to go ahead and start it. I have all the details here, but basically I do 50% up front and then the rest once they are delivered.
Lamb Painting
This piece will be fresh. Going to go all out on it and create a really cool painting. Later we can discuss the finish/varnish type to put on it. I want to put a good amount of work into it. Will be legendary. Start with the picture below for inspiration.I think the lamb that I created is going to look awesome when I add the details.
Lamb Update #1
Purchased the large piece of canvas to start the painting, and built the wood frame to stretch the canvas. As you can see by the logo I made for you above, I am working on getting the lamb designed out. It is going to look fresh. I will update when I start working on the canvas.
Lamb Update #2
Below is a slideshow of the background. Backgrounds are just rough – trying to get some color on the blank canvas. (Images are large so may take a second to load)
Lamb Update #3
Worked a bunch on the lamb. I love it.
Will post more photos soon. working on the background, then going to add the ground and start some fresh text on the bottom.
Lamb Update #4
Sorry about the photo… it is from my phone, but I have aged the piece a bit, and I was going to add the text next. After that it is just brightening up with some accent colors and should be good to go. I wanted to do the text in the cursive style behind the lamb kind-of in the sky. let me know what you think
Lamb Update #5
You can faintly see where I putting the text. I like the ribbon-like style so it is not super obvious but floating. I am going to detail the text a bunch more.
Lamb Update #6
Think I am almost there just need to figure out one more thing to add some more blue. Yet again a picture from the phone.
Lamb Update #7
BOOM! Hope you like it. We can set up delivery at your convenience.

Hey There,
I’m a huge fan of your work, I’ve been following you for a long while now. I wrote you a few years back explaining that I had went to art school, lost my way in the corporate world and that your work had inspired me to start painting again. It’s been slow going but I’m trying to make time to be creatively productive.
In any event, I LOVE this lamb painting. Did you draw the lamb freehand and then make a stencil out of it? I LOVE IT.
We were facebook friends once upon a time but I deactivated my account awhile ago because I was never on it anymore. Pros and cons to that sh*t.
Keep doing what you’re doing, it’s amazing. Let me know about whether or not you create most of your imagery from original drawings or if you use a projector or if you make your own stencils??? I’m just curious from one creative mind to another. A lot of your stuff looks like it was silkscreened but better which is why I ask if it’s original drawings or some other technique.
Take Care,
Lauren
