Cadbury- Pastel- Ken Tiessen

[123harry]

Non-human perhaps, but irresistible! Very lifelike and presented in beautiful colours.

What a delighful little creature. Love his name by the way. Great work on the velvet cushion. Quite a challenge and I am sure his owner will treasure this.

[kentiessen]

Hi Robert!- Thank you!

Hi Chammi! Thanks- I'm sure there's a story behind it, but don't know what it would be. His owner has seen it, and has another project for me in the Fall. That is a great validation for me. I appreciate it!

Awwww poor wabbit.
You look so sad.
Don't make it a habit.

(love this piece!!)

Beautiful piece Ken. Love the purple background - the Cadbury chocolate purple! Kat

[kentiessen]

Thank you for the poem, FaeLynn!

Hi Kat! Thanks! I did not even realize the connection- it came mostly from the pillow he was on in the reference.

[KD Art]

Lol. As I am a descendant of the Cadbury family, chocolate runs in my veins! It is a most happy coincidence which works really well in your painting, though. Kat

You did a beautiful job of giving such life and expression to Cadbury. The detail on the pillow is superb!

Fantastic!

An Update: The client saw the portrait and really likes it- he sent images to all close friends of Cadbury, and they are happy too! It's important to me that all clients are really pleased- it's a real validation that I never take for granted.

For me, that's the best feeling I get from my art
