Richmond Brewery Series - Ardent Craft Ales

 This is the first of my Richmond Brewery series - Ardent Craft Ales located in Scotts Addition. There are 28 breweries with a Richmond address that I plan to do, but all in all, I think almost 40 in the Richmond, Goochland, Chester, Midlothian, Ashland (did I miss anybody) area. Right now, I'm focusing only on Richmond, but may include the other breweries at some point. When I began the series, Intermission and Final Gravity were showing in the Richmond area, but later on, were showing online as being outside the boundaries. By that time, I'd already finished them. 

The Scotts Addition series is available at my etsy store, and the entire series of Richmond Breweries will be available before the month is over.

Little Free Library commission

 Here is another Little Free Library commission. I decided to do this one in oil paint as opposed to acrylic. I'll be delivering it one day next week and will post the completed piece. There are multiple sides that have images. I think these are the greatest thing to be honest. 

 I swear to goddess, snapchat filters are the bane of my existence when it comes to portraiture. It's not cute, it's not attractive...it's fake and somewhat narcissistic in my opinion. What's worse is if a person is over 21 with Snapchat, passing off over-filtered, fake photos as though it's really them; it's kind of sad and shows a lack of self esteem. Slap on that shitty ass duckface for extra-tacky bonus points. I mean, it's cute if you're doing it for fun, and I'm sure a lot of people are. But I cannot count how many Snapchat photos I get sent to draw or paint. Prior to everyone's favorite cheating app, there are a small handful of portraits that I completed, where the client wasn't pleased with their portrait. Over the last year however, I have received a minimum of 2 portrait requests a month where it's clear a filter has been used. The face looks flat, unrealistic, and unappealing. And in this timeframe, I have received more negative feedback from my portraits than the previous 14 years combined. After one lady complained, I took her photo and used a projector and traced the photo directly onto the canvas and still, she was not happy. She said it looked nothing like her, even though it was identical to the over-filtered photo. Of course it didn't look like her...it wasn't her, it was what she wanted to look like. Ugh...okay...rant over.
