This is a small sample of work, please if you need anything please email.
In my female portraits I capture the softer side. Portraits of women and children are special in the way you set the mood and see how the light
blends with a fresh view making a unique one of a kind keepsake.
In my male portraits looking a the edge because men like a direct painting. Professionals and military portraits are forceful with bold brushwork, this give an importance to the sitter.
Pop art is art that is painted from popular culture like your favorite singer, actor, or anything such as something that happen during a particular time or place. I've shown two girlfriends that wanted to remember a time, or the Joker from the Batman movie. Don't forget John Lennon.
I love painting landscapes. It takes me to another place and time. Landscapes moods and how the light and dark plays together to show us a window into another world. If you have a favorite landscape that you have seen in a museum or a picture in a book, please email me, it may not be as much as you may think. We spend a lot of time in our home and offices you may as well enjoy the space with art that you love that will bring peace to your home.
In my floral I like the Manet approach. Direct brushwork with the color side by side to give the illusion of mass and shape. These works are in a small format. They are beautiful when hung together or a small niche. I have done large fomated work. Notice the stong brush strokes.
I don't paint many animal works, but as you can see I have no problem with any type of creature. I can work from your photo of your pet, dogs, cats, even hamsters. I also can copy from any artwork of your favorite animal portrait or picture.
If you ever wanted a Master's artwork that you've fallen in love with but did not want a poster or print, think about having a custom painting painted just for you. Please email.

Painting Southwestern and Native American Indians connects me with my family ancestors. Hearing stories and trying to imagine what they went through as I paint. Painting rich color bring to life a past which I want experience.

Automotive Art
When I first started drawing, autos was my favorite subject. As I grew up my taste change, but still love my collector cars that I own. So I'm back into painting the auto for myself and people that want something special to hang.
