I enjoy drawing, painting, and sculpting from direct observation - both in the studio and plein air. I also like to experiment with different tools and techniques. Following my blog will allow you to see examples of my work in progress and read about what was happening as I made them.
I painted this scene of my client's Happy Place in watercolor, 9"x12". These stone steps are scattered with leaves at the height of Fall color and flanked by a wall of smooth river stones.
Where is your Happy Place? Where you met your spouse? Your favorite job? Where you go to relax and be yourself?
Enjoy your own, for yourself or to give as a gift. Please email me to commission your painting. Costs average $150-300 based on complexity.
