Rest

Rest

11"x14" oil on canvas

Rest is a commission I did for a very special friend. Her Babygirl passed last November after being blessed with her for 17 years. In praying for answers about where pets go, she asked God to show her where she went. He showed her a vision of her in a field of Daisy's and butterflies flittering around. My friend said Babygirl laid there in total peace just watching them. She laughed and told me she doesn't even like Daisy's and the vision had to have come from God, because if it was her, she'd have her laying some other place other than a field of Daisy's. 

After asking me to paint Babygirl for her, she asked God what she should name the painting, and He said "Rest; this is what rest looks like".

Peyton in Paris

 Peyton in Paris
by Candy Prather

20"x16" oil on canvas

Peyton in Paris is a storybook style commission. The intention was to portray the couple's daughter in a Paris setting as an animated layout. This was my first undertaking in storybook style painting and I thoroughly enjoyed it. My client sent a few photos of Peyton and I combined two of them to create her stance. I found the background of Paris in a photo from Google Images, then as I was finishing up the composition I added the flower pot and tree limbs to help portray the springtime season effect. The kind gentleman who commissioned me to paint his daughter in Paris was a pleasure to work with. He presented Peyton in Paris to his wife as a 20th wedding anniversary gift. Let me know what you think!
