Tadaa! The largest #painting on #vellum I've ever done at 8"x10". This #commission is such a fun twist on the #petportrait , imitating a #medieval #illuminatedmanuscript and using many of the #traditionalmaterials like 23k #goldleaf #shellgold and #watercolor . The text is a #Latin translation of some sweet words spoken in the wedding vows of the soon to be owners of this painting. They talk about loving their #shibainus even when they get stinky from rolling around in garbage and dead earthworms. This piece took 25 hours of work and I enjoyed every minute! 🌿 #illustration #watercolour #watercolorartist #illuminated #patentgold #artcommission (at New Haven, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B19hETBJ-v4/?igshid=19g31hzmshcxk
