Sometimes you have to take one for the team, especially during the holidays. I painted this lovely tree for my mom, as I am a starving artist and couldn't afford to get her that in-seat dvd and chrome rim set she wanted for her ride. I used acrylic, stain, and polyurethane. Heavy chemicals are a first for me, but they gave me a lot of ideas for future work on wood. I would say this is a very commercial piece. The stiffs at my mom's work agree. It's a one of a kind, though, so don't get any ideas about commissioning me, suckers.
