Theme Parties

I like to do the best I can for my clients.  I am usually hired to paint my whole Repetoire ~ just whatever people ask for.  But sometimes I get clients who want me to focus on a particular Theme.  When that's the case, I really Appreciate if they tell me ahead of time ~ when they Book the event.  So I'm Focused on it before I even arrive.

This was an interesting Party here.  Twins, a boy and a girl.  So I was hired to focus primarily on SUPER HEROES.  AND PRETTY GIRLY THINGS.  Both.   That's what my Client said when he hired me.  Even though I paint both Super Heros and Pretty Girly Things all the time,
I appreciated the heads up.  Because I might just as well have had Sports or Tigers or some such ideas on my mind.  Tribals.  Or or Dragons.  Perhaps a specific Holiday or Season.  It just makes it easier for me to do a good job for my Client if he he tells me about a Special Request ahead of time ~ when he Books the Party.

This Client said that anything that the guests request would be fine, but suggestions from me should be for his Themes.  Here are a few of the Super Heroes that I painted:













And this next one was fun.  I had started painting a Butterfly (a Pretty Girlie Thing).  But before I was done, one of the children kept saying "It's a Bunny".  I guess it was the Colors of the wings that I was painting?  Or perhaps that child just had Bunnies on her mind.  Perhaps reading a book about bunnies or something.  So instead of telling her she was Wrong, I just changed the Center to look like a Bunny, and I said "Yes ~ It's a Flying Bunny."





And here are a few more of the Pretty Girlie designs:





Some of the grown ups got involved also.  They were very pleased.
A good time was had by all:



















and  the guests who wanted to be decorated on their arms:





















I felt particularly pleased with this one.  A simple design, but the application came out so very clearly.  Smooth.   Perfect.
