Pet Portrait Commissions

I travel the entire country for plein air events, and to teach workshops, but I also travel for portrait commissions. Pet portraits in particular have long been one of my specialties, and my favorite subject to paint.

If you'd like a portrait of your four-legged family member, contact me via my website to arrange a portrait session.

Gateway International Painting Competition February Finalist

Thank you judge Mary R. Pettis for choosing my "Aglow" (oil on linen, 9"x12") as a Gateway International Painting Competition February finalist.

Judge's comment: "In this little picture we feel the artist's reverence for the compelling beauty of a white rose in light. I'm not certain how anyone could see this painting and ever look at a rose in the same way again. I believe that this is our job as artists: to reflect back to all the inherent beauty in the abundance of life around us!"

New Studio for the Visual Arts Floral Painting Workshop

I was invited to teach a three-day floral class at the New Studio for the Visual Arts in Jupiter, Florida, the week before I'd be participating in the 5th Annual Lighthouse ArtCenter Plein Air Festival.

We had to hustle to get all the way from the Maui Plein Air Painting Invitational to Florida in just two days for this workshop, but it was well worth it. I was lucky yet again to work with a great group of artists.

On Thursday evening, I did a demonstration painting and gave an artist talk at the studio.

We painted outside on Friday, the last day, in order to give the artists more of a feel for painting outdoor flowers, even though we had to use cut flowers (the studio wasn't able to convince a local nursery to let such a large group of us paint on site).

We gathered at the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse and Museum, where we worked in the shade with a lovely view. It was a great way to end the class. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures of the four demonstration paintings I did for this workshop - they all sold before I could get them photographed.
