Painting a portrait is seemingly magical. Building strokes of pastel, tonal value, applying carefully studied color, a transformation takes place and suddenly a recognizable person emerges. An artist's calling in this life is to create. I have found that portraiture is my given passion. There is no simple way to achieve my goals. I simply keep working at what I love to do.

Most people love their pets! A hand painted original pastel portrait is a special gift to give friends and family or to simply remember those we have lost.
All of the pet portraits have been painted from photo references. Let's face it, pets are "moving targets"! A selection of your good photographs and working closely together will ensure a lovely painting of a beloved pet. Go to "Ordering a Portrait" for more information.
Also, be sure to read about the pets and the testimonials under the images in the larger windows.

Occasionally, I find it very refreshing to paint a landscape. The subject must be of a place that I can connect with personally. Perhaps of somewhere I have been or something that truly appeals to me.

Fun Stuff!

Once in a while I like to paint something just for fun and relaxation. These are a little less serious in nature and technique as my more involved and commissioned paintings, yet nonetheless beautiful in color and content.
