Figure February Day 20: Ballet dancer tendu

Ballet dancer duet
An artist friend of mine is doing a figure drawing a day for February which she calls Figure February. She invited me to join so here I go. I only just started on Day 4.
My latest commission was a 50th wedding anniversary present from a wife to her husband. She wanted a silver birch tree with yellow leaves and a bold script.
These are based off an old manuscript (and I wish I could remember which one) and since I did them digitally I could easily change the colour scheme. These are for my online shop on Zazzle, for cards and such where customers can put their own text inside the border. Since blue and green are my favourite colours I usually stick with those in my designs but I did a red version for a change.
My most recent commission was a quote from John Wesley written in Cancelleresca Corsiva. The client wanted celtic knots in the border although she and I were aware that it didn’t exactly fit the time period or style. However, a little extra Celtic knot never hurts!
I turned a recent sketch into a greeting card in my Zazzle online store.
