Sammy Acrylic 11 x 12 Pet Portrait Commission



SOLD

Painting Dogs has truly become one of my favorite subjects to paint. I very much enjoy the challenge of capturing the essence of each pet and know I have when I see the reaction of their owners. Joan, Sammy was a complete joy to paint. Thank you for giving me the honor.

The Red Scarf 7 x 5 Acrylic Urban Landscape Painting of Italy



SOLD

On my trip to Italy I spent only one day and one night in Florence. Even though it was a short experience I packed all I could into it. With my camera glued into my hand I tried to immerse myself in all Florence had to offer. This painting was from a scene just after enjoying one of the best diners of my life. The people and city were as intoxicating as the food.

Floral Bounty Acylic 6 x 6 Floral Landscape Painting




SOLD

This is a painting inspired from one of my favorite local residential gardens here in Denver. It was so warm here today that I was getting excited for spring and thought that I would push the season by painting a spring floral. I love my job.

SOLD

I was very excited about the angle of this composition. Capturing the nuances of the figures under the umbrella was a great challenge.
