bendystar — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 05:02:15 +0000

I have officially begun my work as a guest blogger for Red Piggy Press. I’ll be blogging and sketching about once a week. I look forward to this opportunity to write about culture, literature, arts, society and sciences. And it encourages me to sketch more and be more thoughtful. You can catch up on my latest articles here. Please comment so I know you visited! And if there’s something you want me to write about, I would love to hear your suggestions.

Benefit at Olivewood Gardens

A while ago I set up and painted at the beautiful Olivewood Gardens Learning enter. I have donated that painting to Olivewood Gardens for their Heart of the Harvest 2 Day Event. They will be hosting a moonlit soiree on one night and a family affair the next. Should be a lot of fun! For more information visit http://olivewoodgardens.org/heartoftheharvest/wendy-kwasny

This is my most recent painting, “Puddle Stomp”, It’s a painting of my son playing in the rain at Otay Lake, in San Diego. It was a gorgeous day, with great light. I worked this painting from a photograph I took on that day.

My latest Commission

I was contacted through www.bendystar.etsy.com to do a commission as a Christmas present. It was a great experience working with this client and together we found the right image to work from. I altered the background of the photograph she provided from the airport to a more natural setting.Here are some of the things she said about the painting, “The painting is absolutely perfect…Because of your wonderful and special talent, we have a family keepsake that will be cherished forever. You have captured Mike and Kyla perfectly! Thank you again…You have been awesome to work with.” -Kathy
