Sweet Sixteen

18X24 oil on canvas A very happy birthday to this really incredible girl! Miss Danielle, the Millwards love you so much. This painting is of my dear running partners daughter.

Fort Bragg Beach Scene

3X5′ oil on canvas I’ve decided to finally come back to this one and finish it. It’s a big one for me at 3X5 feet.

We like to get together with family and stay at a beach house onContinue reading “Fort Bragg Beach Scene”

Today I will put some pants on him, although I like the surreal look of having the clouds for pants. I liked the way the others looked with the clouds coming through too, maybe I will paint anotherContinue reading “Ethan”

Senior Portrait

Last December my friend asked what I was up to with my art and I showed her a few photos of portraits I had just finished. Later that day she asked if I would paint her daughters portrait before she heads off to college. I was excited to give it a shot. I am thrilledContinue reading “Senior Portrait”
