Dog portraits of three local shelter dogs
Recently, I had a client contact me to paint a few dog portraits of some sweet dogs that are in the shelter that she volunteers at, NewLife Rescue & Adoption in Mt.

Loose floral painting WIP
This year, I’ve made it a goal of mine to focus on loose floral paintings. I’m off to a slow start, but I have started. Here’s where I’m at so far. I created a quick loose sketch on this 40″x30″ canvas using charcoal. Charcoal feels so wonderful to sketch with. It flows effortlessly from my…

Purple wall garden painting
My work table currently has a garden painting on it waiting for me to finish it. It’s close to being finished but you know what they say about close. I tell my son this all the time. Close doesn’t count except for in hand grenades and horseshoes. He hates it when I say that. So,…

Vagabond Aged Map
Do you remember the two-man saw I was commissioned to paint earlier this year? Well, the same collector has commissioned me to create another really cool project. This time it was a fantasy style map of private hunting, fishing and recreational area known as Vagabond that he’s a member of. This collector might just have…
