Dear {{first_name| Member}}
as October is coming to an end, here’s the showcase of the art I have been working on this month 🥰
This has been quite an hectic month between making the first few batch of calendars, completing commissions and continuing others and creating new originals… I also had to work extra to make sure i did everything before flying to Japan for a bucket list/ lifetime trip 🥹🇯🇵
I want to sincerely thank everyone who has ordered a copy of my calendar — your support truly means the world to me. 🙏🏻
We’re now down to the final few days to place an order, as this year I’ve decided to keep the edition more limited. I wanted to make it a little more special — and also ensure I have enough time to focus on the many projects I need to complete before the year ends.
I’ve extended the deadline to order the last few copies to the first week of November, as I will be back from Japan just before then ☺️
This month I have completed this unique commissioned pastel painting of the gorgeous Inka from Chester zoo, who I have painted quite a few times before and it’s always a pleasure. This a special commission as it’s also an original, since I took the photo reference myself 🖤
“The panther’s tide” pastel painting commission
And here’s the folder that comes with the commission. It has included the Certificate of Authenticity stamped and signed, a greeting card, a sticker and wooden framed mini print that has a magnet and the title of the artwork engraved in the back.
This folder is a NEW ADDITION for all commissioned works of a certain value 🥰
I have made more progress on this huge Taylor Swift commission too , which I am totally in love with and I am just having so much fun painting all these colourful and expressive versions of Taylor 🥰
“The mad love era” oil painting commission in progress
After receiving so much love and support on my jacket painting I have decided to make Limited edition prints of this artwork too and this in a really cool mount/frame combination chosen for and with one of the collectors 😍
And here’s what I’ve started working on this month — a brand new piece done entirely in coloured pencil, featuring some beautifully intricate ropework. I was instantly captivated by this image from Taylor Swift’s new album, where she’s wearing a stunning dress made entirely of rope, with strands cascading and suspended around her. It’s such a fascinating mix of strength, delicacy, and artistry — the perfect challenge to bring to life on paper.
I hope you enjoy seeing what I have been working on this month and I already look forward showing what I’ll be up to in the coming month 🥰
Love and greetings from Japan ,
Francesca 🥰
