A lady walks into an artist's studio...

A lady walks into the studio the other day.  I ask her if she's looking for anything in particular.  She says, "Yes, three small and similar paintings for a gift."  

I say ok and show her a few options.  

We're not finding anything that suits, so I ask her a few more questions to understand the recipients and the story.

As I'm listening to her story, I keep getting goose bumps all over my body.  I knew I was going to create these pieces whether she bought them or not.

In summation, the paintings are a "thank you" gift for three lawyers in Israel who had helped one of her family members out of a difficult situation.  

I told her she had walked into the right place, offered to create three paintings for her in the style she preferred and that I'd have them ready in a few days so she can take them with her to Israel when she leaves in a week.  

Done.  Check out the progression shots below.

I'm really, really honored and humbled to have created these for her.  I'm still getting goosebumps when I think about it.

There is a bright orange underpainting.  Psychology indicates orange evokes Courage and Confidence.  Appropriate in this case.

I chose words that were relevant and that felt right, translated them to Hebrew, and embedded them into the next layer.  i like to think the energy of those words is discreetly ​emanating from the paintings.

Next I added some layers of colors that felt right.  Then added the natural hemp twine in deliberate patterns.  Painted over all of that a subtle abstract landscape.
