Christmas gifts and latest paintings

The challenge was on for the holidays. I painted 6 paintings and I am still on a roll. I wake up every morning thinking about the next project. I just finished a portrait painting in colour which I am not really all that good at but it was a challenge anyhow. I also finished an oil painting which I started about 10 years ago and to my surprise I miss painting with oils. I don't miss the waiting time or the smells which everyone complains about but love the way the paint is easy to blend. Anyhow I figured I would post them and got on to some new commissioned projects tomorrow.

This is a painting commissioned for Lee and Maureen. It's their two grandchildren. I haven't painted faces in colour in so long because I have the hardest time with them but it was good practice.

This is my oil painting that I started about 10 years ago. I am letting the varnish dry a bit and will probably conclude it in the next couple of weeks. The background was my first experimentation of oils in my airbrush and I had to do it outside with a mask on because of the turpentine.

2 Water Colour paintings for the next exhibit in March. For a change I am way ahead of myself unless I sell them b/4

Black and white "Johnny Depp" for Cathy in Calgary.

My favourite dog "Jack" who I miss awfully

3 Albert Einstein's were done for Joe, Joey and Peter

For my son in law Charlie

For my daughter Krista

For Uncle Egon & Christal

Although I am not crazy about this one, it was commssioned by my sister Shari. The blue face is because it is a warrior. I know it looks more like a woman than a man....My sister likes it and that's all that matters. She knows I would paint over it in a second if she didn't like it. My kids hate it when I do that.

For my son's girlfriend, Liane

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end. It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets. Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle. Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items. Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...
