House Portrait
Watercolor 10" x 12"
The home owner was preparing a major renovation and wanted to
memorialize the original cottage. Photos were taken at several times of

Commissioned Landscape Oil 30" x 40"
I was hired by an architectural design firm to create a landscape based on a photograph. The goal was to bring a familiar landmark into the community atmosphere at an assisted living complex.

replacing the static bird in the photo with an egret engaged in fishing.
