Harry
Commissioned Portrait
14×20″
The above piece is a commission I finished just before I started school. It was done for Harry’s 80th birthday.
I originally thought I would have a separate blog for what I accomplish in school over the next 6 weeks but it has become too much to think about. My head is already hurting from all the reading and thinking I have to do! I am usually too busy making art (and helping kids) to analyze why I am making art. Not to mention the writing!
I did start a painting last Friday. It is the weight of the world on my shoulders. Hopefully it will start to manifest itself more as I paint.
However, over the weekend I did not get to work on it. Instead I worked on another commission and did writing homework. I am currently staying with my mother in law so she was able to document the work.

Homework!
Leslie, it looks like you are doing an awesome job on the portrait.
Good luck, you have a lot on your plate. Your paintings look great!
The progress is great. Six weeks of success Leslie!
Wonderful portraits are coming out! I can see that :)
Thanks,
Irina
Wow … you ARE busy, Leslie. I am glad you had time to post "Harry". He looks so un-work, work, work.
You're doing so many wonderful things lately! The man's portrait is priceless, in my opinion. I know they will love it! And the shoulders portrait is beautiful.
Thank you everyone for the encouraging words! University is such a different world from the practical! I am still trying to wrap my brain around all the reading. It has been nearly 20 years. sigh.
