Export to PDF | Export to DOCOn September 1, 2010 I began working on a new painting. It’s inspired by a photo that was taken in Port-au-Prince, Haiti just four months after this city was devastated by the earthquake on January 12, 2010. This earthquake has left over 400,000 children as orphans. My painting was […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCHere’s the last day of photos showing my process and progress while working on the oil painting called “adams lane.” As I looked back over this last set of photos, I find it hard to believe that I spent an entire day painting the trees. How is that possible? […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCI spent most of my day painting a fence. There are about 55 different little pieces that make up the white fence. So this part of the painting is a rather slow-going process. But the reward is most satisfying! My favorite thing about the fence is the contrast between the […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCHere’s some more photos from the commission I’ve been working on. I spent most of the day creating the grassy field which makes up the bottom half of the painting. It’s starting to take shape!
Export to PDF | Export to DOCToday I worked on painting the house, the barns, and the other little structures. Painting all this detail made my eyes cross (I’m not exaggerating)… mainly because it was so hard to see any detail in the photos. Hopefully I won’t need to get glasses as a result of […]

I CANNOT believe the level of detail that you have in your painting and the colors are so vibrant. We freaking love it!!! Judi was extremely surprised and loves it. We immediately hung it in our dining room. We still […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCI’m getting ready to do a small painting of another house later this month. I originally thought I would use one of the 12″ x 12″ canvasses I have in stock, but the more I looked at the photo, I realized the painting really needs to be a rectangle. […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCHere’s a commission I started last winter and just finally finished up this summer. It’s heading to Kansas City, Missouri, so I want to make sure it’s completely dry before sending it half way across the county. It’s been drying since the beginning of August, so I think it […]
Export to PDF | Export to DOCThis week I’m staring the third of three commissioned oil paintings for my client Ron. I saved this one for last because I thought it may be the most challenging — I wanted to make sure my painting skills were back up to snuff after the summer break. It’s […]
