Smart In Art

A late bday gift from my daughter Hayley, (gotta love the mail), and its a good one. She got it for the entrance to my studio. Lol

A recently commissioned pet portrait in memory of Buddy.

I was just looking through some old photos and found a few art pieces I thought would be nice to share. This painting is from 1995!! I titled it In Mourning. The elongated fisherman laid out on the stony shores, the fishery dead. The rolling fog creeping over the hill moving to blanket the scene. The elongated perspective of the man is a visual device to stretch him out so that when viewed from a steep angle on either side he physically changes representing many men and shifting perspectives.

Just completed this commissioned piece for a client.

A selection of my most recent commissions.

A few pet portraits commissioned for Christmas.

A recent drawing of my sister-in-laws parents, a Christmas gift commissioned by her sister. It was a challenging drawing as the photo was older but turned out nicely in the end.

Just finished this pet portrait of Toby.

Thanks to all my wonderful clients who have supported the Arts throughout this global pandemic, and who have continually kept me busy over the past several months, I have had to enlist the help of my talented wife to take care of the overflow of requests!
