Media: Oil, pastel, graphite and colored
pencil, and gouache.
Subject matter: Realistic portraits
of pets, figures, and houses. Still life renderings
including 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 incorporate
a palette of colors that will suit your particular
needs.
Prices: The prices of my commissioned
work start at $350 for smaller work, $650 for
medium-sized oils; $1,100 on up for larger work.
Prices for drawings are less but involve additional
framing costs for mats, glass, etc.
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 will consider
using your personal snapshots as photo references
for paintings and am open to suggestions, 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.
