The client was thrilled with the painting and she described the painting better then I ever could in her testimonial. I`m not that good at those things, especially not in English.  She wrote what she loves about the painting in Swedish, so I have to translate it best way possible when I find the time.

Today I had allot of work with creating new labels and templates to print out addresses. Fist I went to my local framer to collect the framed painting of Agnes and Spice boy which was completed two days ago. Me and the framer chose the frame together in we were pretty unanimous about which frame suited this painting best. I spent the rest of the day packing the framed painting and went to post it before.

I was fun to get the painting framed! Anyways, here are some photos I took of the painting just before I packed it.

I finally completed the painting of Agnes and Spice Boy yesterday. Now it hangs in my living room and drying. In Monday I will take the painting to my local framer before I send it as soon its dry enough. The panting is actually very small, the girls face in only 2 cm big (small ) so it was a challenge to paint her and I had to buy the smallest brush I could find for the small details. I hope it looks like Agnes, anyway I will find out soon enough .

The background is simplified and created in warmer colors then the actual reference photograph to make the girl and horse stand out. I didn’t want to create even simpler backgrounds for this panting, it looks natural for me this way.

Depth and light is the most important factor in my paintings and I believe this painting shows what its all about.

I´m uploading step five of Agnes and Spice boy. I have been working with the entire painting, both subjects and background. I lightened the sky as it had a little too dark and warm color. I still have allot of work with this painting left to do though. I´m hoping to finish it this week, but now it has to dry for at least one day before I continue with it.
