Stump Cutters

There is a group of doctors who live on the eastern slopes of the Sierras in California who have come up with a unique way to "give back" to their community by providing firewood for those who are in need. Our friend commissioned me to do this painting of her boss in action! For me, this was a very challenging yet rewarding piece to do! Thanks, Missy, for the opportunity!

Casey

Our friend asked me to do a painting of her son's golden retriever, Casey, that recently passed away. I enjoyed the opportunity a lot! I hope this piece provides many happy memories for them ...

How do like them apples ...?!

Several years ago, I painted a similar scene to this one while on a family vacation. It sold right away, but I really liked the piece so I decided to paint another one ... slightly different from the first but using the same impressionistic techniques!

Wishing Well

My art students wanted to paint this scene of a Wishing Well within a lush garden setting. We had fun learning to paint it! Here is my rendition of the piece ... Enjoy!
