It’s the best feeling in the world when a customer likes your work and comes back to order something else. After completing the portrait of the gorgeous Lola (above). I advised her owner that I could turn it into a customised Christmas card which I had done several times before for customers.
After completing the card (above), it sparked the idea to commission a piece of art for her friends as a Christmas gift. They are the owner-operators of Celentano’s restaurant in my home city of Glasgow.
I wanted to do something striking and Pop Arty so I focussed on the warm lit sign on the exterior against the dark blue night of Glasgow. It’s a restaurant that has attracted rave reviews and I think I’ll have to try it out for myself on my next visit to the city.
