                                                                  House Portrait

This picture I used colored pencils and I created this picture with lots of detail.   Commission work can be challenging because it is so personal for the client.  I always try to understand what the subject means to my client as in this case its preserving childhood memories.






                                                                      Pet Portrait

This painting I had the photo of the dog and I wanted to add more to the painting.  The Client and I discussed what this dog enjoyed.   This dog loved going on the trails with its owner and the owners horse.  The saddle was added to reflect its love of the horse trails.
This dog just makes you smile.  I enjoyed painting this beautiful creature.

        Another Yellow Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly painted in acrylics on 5x5 deep edge canvas. 
        I thought I would tell my followers that this painting is for sale.  I am wanting $65.00 for it. 
        It would also cost shipping and handling fee's.  Contact me at artistry396@att.net.

This is a saw blade I painted for a customer.  I enjoyed painting it once I got use to the surface. 
I liked how this painting turned out.

I will be starting a new series of Butterfly paintings.  I am going to be painting them on 5x5 deep edge canvas's.  I am hoping to have a variety of different designs. These little paintings are distractions from my commission pieces.  Sometimes you need distractions from working on another project. 






   Here are 2 of my Butterfly Paintings.  They are painted with acrylic paint on 4x4 deep edge canvas.


          I am reposting some of my paintings for 2 reasons.  One is to remind myself how to post on my webpage.  2nd to change my post from the last time I posted anything on this site.  I would love to start receiving comments from my visitors.  I would love to hear from everyone what they like about my artwork.  What type of painting would interest them!!!
