It was a joy to work on this painting of this little Southern Beauty. Capturing her charm in her dear gesture was my goal. Her parents were extremely pleased and I was very happy to be entrusted to paint their daughter. Photo supplied by the ever-talented Elizabeth Dondis of New Orleans.

Small Paintings from Life in Kennebunkport, Maine

Here are my paintings from last summer, which I'm finally posting. They were painted from life in the early hours of morning, my favorite time to paint outdoors. They were painted on board which is a departure from my usual custom and I enjoyed the challenge of capturing these little scenes quickly on the spot.

Commission a Portrait: Full Length Commission Nearly Complete: Children's portraiture

I'll be posting my latest commission in the next few weeks. As it is a surprise, I'll hold off on any progress photos for now.

This full length girl's custom oil portrait will be a 50th Birthday gift to a husband in the South. It is exciting to consider the unveiling in a few weeks.
