“First Catch,” a 14 x 19 pastel painting of a young girl fishing with her grandfather excited to have just caught her first fish. I used the reference of the client’s iPhone snapshot photo, and they insisted that I put the bubble gum in her mouth to match her bubbly personality. I just delivered it today, and the patrons were very happy. #shanemcdonaldstudios #fishing #grandparentsday #familytime👪 #pastel #portraitpainting #capturingmoments #capturingkidshearts learn more about Shane’s commissioned portraits at https://shanemcdonaldstudios.com/Commission.html

Not certain on the title for this #portrait I started any years ago and just finished today. A friend since high school, she’s always been a free spirit—beautiful, sweet, creative, and tough. When I showed her this image today, she told me she’s reminded of Kintsugi, a Japanese process of repairing broken pottery with precious metals. I’m glad the accidental #symbolism in the painting speaks to her! Sometimes as a #painter, I feel like Forrest Gump! 24x18 in. oil on canvas #shanemcdonaldstudios
