Koi
I have to admit this is one of my favorite paintings I have created and a fun way to close out the year. The client asked me to create a piece inspired by a painting she had found of a girl surrounded by fish. This is my interpretation and I look forward to creating more images with a similar composition and/or gold detailed jacket.

Commission
I had the honor of being asked to paint a "feather armor" girl inspired by a client's daughter. This 2 x 3ft oil included some detailed gold chain details I've been wanting to try out along with warrior braids that I love to create.
