Redheads are always a challenge! This young woman is going places and will always have roots to the land. As with everyone starting adult life, no one really knows the exact path they will take, but some things never change. Dogs, fresh air, getting caught in the rain all anchors us to the ground. She is ready for any challenge!

After years of painting mostly animals, I am now taking a limited number of commissions for life sized traditional portraits. Modern technology allows us to know for certain exactly what pigments the masters of the 1700s and 1800s used to create the timeless etherial portraits of so many people in our history. Just go to any major museum and you will be mesmerized. In fact, the oil portrait is the only record we have of what people looked like, what they wore, or how they lived. The artist was also the chronicler. With role models of Gilbert Stuart, Thomas Sully, John Singleton Copley and a few others, my new portraits reflect the same depth of tone and timeless glow of those from the past.
