Poochi-LA: People

This was a commission piece I did for a friend, for the holidays.  Her grandfather passed away a few months ago and she wanted to find the perfect gift for her grandmother (his widow), so she asked me to paint a portrait of them taken when they were first dating.  It was her idea to incorporate their beautiful blue eyes, and I really think it added the perfect touch to the painting.  I hope her "Nana" likes it :)

Poochi-LA: Photos

These are some photos I took a couple of weeks ago, for a friend's grand babies.  It was a lot of fun and my first time working with such a tiny baby!  Enjoy!...

Cosmo: Hair Color Final

This week concludes my 8 week course in hair color.  This was and still is thee most challenging class I've had so far... and I THOUGHT it was going to be one of the easiest, especially with my experience with color... but boy was I far off, haha!  However, with the help of some sweet classmates, I was able to make a successful hair color final.  Our job was to create a rendition of a photo.

Here's how it turned out...
