A Personalized Birthday Commission

Here's another birthday commission I just did with some heavy personalization. I was asked not to emphasize anything about how old she is turning (I hear ya), so I chose a more neutral design of a flower pot with a fern plant. Given a ton of things to describe the birthday girl, I was able to fit in the following: a love of cooking and drinking, a job as a journalist, time lived in Maine, a love of travel and time spent in France (hence the Air France ticket and plane!). This person has accomplished so much by this birthday that I had to pick and choose just a few things so that the cut didn't look too busy!
