I'm honored to have so many requests for pet portraits. Either to commemorate a recently passed friend or to celebrate a current buddy. They always bring so much joy and character.
I've captured family portraits, birthday celebrations, and even created a few life-sized portraits. Painting humans always presents me with the most challenges, but when finally completed are some of the most rewarding.
As artists, we are tasked with documenting the world around us as we perceive it. From mountain hikes to city rooftops, and wandering forest glades, these are the places where I've spent my life.
Typically I use watercolor as an on-the-go painting method. If we're out and about, a small case of paints and a notebook is much simpler than a full acrylic setup. Thus, these are mostly small studies.
