Media:  Oil, pastel, graphite, colored pencil, and gouache.

Subject matter: Realistic portraits of pets and figures. Still life renderings that may include your objects as subjects — vases, tablecloths, family heirlooms, etc.  I enjoy painting fabrics with patterns, reflective and transparent surfaces found in glass and metal.  I can incorporate those same elements to create abstract compositions and am willing to use a palette of colors that will suit your environment. 

Prices:  Commissioned work starts at $350.  Most range $650 - $850. Additional costs for additional subjects.  Contact me for a precise list of prices and general sizes.

Sizes:  Begin at approximately 8” X 10” to dimensions no longer than 48”.  For larger pieces I can create diptychs or triptychs.

Terms:  A contract and deposit apply.

Additional information:  I am happy to consider using your personal snapshots as references for paintings.  I am open to suggestions.  My wish is to collaborate your ideas into my artwork but I maintain control over artistic decisions. I do not accept all commissions. Personalized gift certificates and gift cards are available. Call for an appointment to discuss your commission needs. My days and hours in the studio vary but I am willing to accommodate your schedule.
