Paintings

Want to commemorate a special place, a home, a pet, a loved one? A commissioned painting could be a family treasure. Pricing varies based on size and complexity of your project. Contact me for more information.

I paint in both oils (above) and watercolors (right). Watercolors have a more casual feel especially suited to landscapes and require less time. Oils are a classic choice with rich color.

Process

Clients should provide several good-quality photos to choose from as sources. For portraits, images without a big full smile, and without harsh shadows, work best.

After discussing and selecting the photo source, I will begin work on a drawing. For paintings, I make a sketch first to work out size and composition, and to make sure we are both happy with the direction of the project. I usually send an image of the final work to the client for approval when I am about 90% done. Framing is up to you but I am happy to advise if asked.
