Large Folk Art La Valencia Hotel -SOLD

Update to last week's post below: Here's how the 36x36" Hotel La Valencia turned out.  The customer was very happy and took it home on Monday. 





Thought I would post a few updates.

Will Wonders never cease... My little Wonder Bread art print from 2018, was selected to be a part of Wonder Bread Canada's 2023 fall ad campaign, It Starts with Wonder.  Although I won't be able to view it here in the U.S. , I like knowing my little print is off on this adventure.  The ad agency for the campaign contacted me out of the blue, something that would not have happened to me prior to the age of the internet.

And an Etsy customer requested I make a 36x36" version of my 6x6" painting Little Folk Art La Valencia! (original 6" version seen here)  I've needed to rebuild my painting-on-large-canvases muscles for this one. 

And another requested an even further miniaturized, framed print of the already diminutive 6x6" Little Folk Art Hotel del Coronado painting for her daughter's birthday, with a rather short turnaround.  I am still working on the large painting but tonight I finished the 3x3" mini mini framed print.



I hesitate to accept custom orders because they are full of surprises and take longer than I estimate and are therefore more costly to me.  But I have enjoyed these opportunities and doing something special for a customer to make them happy.
