Watercolor portrait

Let me bring your vision to life! I am willing and able to create many types of paintings including:


  • Portraits of people and/or pets
  • Home portraits
  • Boat portraits
  • and much more..

The possibilities don't end with the ideas on this page. If you have an idea or a photo, and you would like me to try to bring it to life through the world of watercolor, I'd love to hear about it!

 Human Portraits
 
When painting people, I like to paint the subjects in a natural situation. I prefer not to have them sitting and facing me. To me, a successful painting reflects the personality of the subject and does not look stiff or posed.

Pet Portraits


Pet Portraits are always popular, and I love animals. Pets are not limited to cats, dogs, and horses; I welcome pets of all sizes and shapes!
 
Home Portraits


I truly enjoy painting architecture. I have always loved perspective and the clean lines of painting buildings. The smallest log cabins to the grandest of homes are welcome!

Boat portraits


I love to be near the water, and I love boats. Both are favorite subjects to paint, and I know how people love their boats. I will do my best to help you show off your beauty.


  My Quiet Spot

This is the quiet spot in my yard. Maybe you have a favorite spot? I'd like to help you share your vision of that special place that you love!

Please Note-Sizes are approximate, and may be adjusted a little, by request. Larger sized paintings are available and will be priced upon request.  If you choose to have the painting framed, I will use acid-free archival quality double matting, with a custom wood frame. If you choose not to have me frame the painting for you, I will package it with a single white mat and foam backing board in a clear poly bag suitable for gift-giving.


*The term "specified background" refers to the addition of a specific scene to be painted around the subject, such as a special location or any other background elements you desire. If a specified background is not chosen, I will use a plain neutral or colored background that suits the subject(s).
