Detail from "Sunset" |
By Vic Midyett
Shirley has completed two new paintings, both commissioned.
"Pelican" was requested by a business office in Perth, whose owner loves Pelicans.
"Pelican" (18" x 20") |
"Sunset" was commissioned by a good friend of hers as a birthday present to her doctor husband this coming June. She is a former psychiatrist now studying to be an attorney at 50 yrs old! Gotta love it! Her instructions were for "an ocean/beach scene with pelican, a boat wreck, sunset, and sail boat."
"Sunset" (2ft x 4ft) |
Shirley hadn't painted for weeks, following our trip back to the west coast and getting resettled here. After such a long drought, she's in hog heaven! [Editor's Note: An expression that apparently immigrated to Australia from the American South.]
