Close-up
24x30 oil on canvasI just had to a portrait of this child at a glass door. I liked the mood of the photo and the reflections in the glass. I took the photo at the session for the Brothers portraits. I love to do interesting lighting.

Pet portrait
This is an example of my pet portraits. This horse died in her 20s soon after I painted this. I made sure to do the detail of the barn as the owner had built the barn and plained the wood. the brand is the horse's name. Sunday, January 6, 2008
Graphite with black and white charcoal
16x20I chose this pose because of the interesting fence and lighting for this pre-teen portrait. She is the daughter of my framers and they have been a huge help along my career. They matted and framed this to go with the unusual amber color paper I used.

Graphite/charcoal
Nephew
16x20 originalI normally don't do two portraits the same. But I had finished two cute portraits of brothers with bandanas and hats and later needed Christmas gifts of my nephews that live in Texas on a ranch. I took photos I already had of my newphews and added the elements of the hat and kercheif from the photos of the other boys and they looked perfect for their Texas home.

Havasu Falls
My friends and I hiked 8 miles into the grand canyon to stay with the Havasupai Indians,their horses and dogs to see this beautiful place. I was in heaven. I would love to go back and paint on location.
