The eagle has landed....

It's been a mammoth few weeks. As you can probably tell, my poor little blog has taken a back seat to everything else that's been going on. But even though there's been precious little blog action, I've been painting like a woman possessed! For those of you who follow me on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/originalartbykerrishipp">Facebook</a>, you'll have seen a sneak peek of the biggest painting I've done for quite a while. This bad boy is 1.5m x 3m long (around 5' x 10') - a real statement piece. The canvas was custom-stretched, specialist art transport was needed due to its sheer size....but it was totally worth it. I absolutely love it, but more importantly, my gorgeous client Helen loves it too. Here it is:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHoAYeF0x2UeFHQB6uvZ03j_n8HDmeY51pvxfXzarEXdK8dP5o2S8NA5W4pplKlaGDm2QW9HkqE9EooWp6-HS-2vSXiTw6hoobzniQfcrsOW_xIMSsPX_2TIsgFwq83SQft94TzZ-Mu50m/s1600/helen+final+watermarked.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="324" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHoAYeF0x2UeFHQB6uvZ03j_n8HDmeY51pvxfXzarEXdK8dP5o2S8NA5W4pplKlaGDm2QW9HkqE9EooWp6-HS-2vSXiTw6hoobzniQfcrsOW_xIMSsPX_2TIsgFwq83SQft94TzZ-Mu50m/s640/helen+final+watermarked.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">'Equinox'</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">mixed media on canvas</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">1.5m x 3m</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #0b5394;">private commission</span></div><br />We did plan to have it delivered and hung all on the same day, but there were a few hiccups which meant it was only hung today. I'll be heading over next week to get some lovely in-situ shots, and I'll post those as soon as I can. I'm so looking forward to seeing it in place in Helen's beautifully restored Queenslander - very exciting!<br /><br />Thanks for bearing with me lately. Even though my usual blogging routine has been completely thrown out the window, I have lots of original commissions on order, as well as some new paintings of my own. For all the news, sneak peeks and previews of new work, you may want to head on over and 'like' my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/originalartbykerrishipp">Facebook page</a>. I'd love to see you there!<br /><br />Have a great weekend everyone,<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"><img border="0" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/85794/shatay01/57292ae3db79c6d939a1f2a85508a076.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0 !important;" /></a></div></div>
