Just Delivered: "Brian and Emily", oil 32 x 24

...to a lovely family in Washington, DC

Commissioned painting of a brother and sister Washington DC
Brian and Emily oil commission 32 x 24
These paintings are a great example of how to create paintings of two siblings, so that they work in harmony hanging together on the wall, but still preserve their stand-alone solidity.With thanks to Perry Guy and Portraits, Inc, for arranging this commission!

July 13-16, 2015 Prescott, AZ
Beat the heat!!!! Next summer, I'll be teaching again in Prescott, AZ. "For Love or Money: Portraiture and the Pursuit of Excellence" is a 4-day portrait painting workshop that focuses on both painting skills and on the business aspects of art.

I do not take more than 12 students in my workshops; every one of my students deserves a lot of personal attention, and I don't believe that can be accomplished with a larger student group. Please sign yup early to secure your place in class!

Details to follow:)

Workshop: Franciscan Life Process Center
August 27-30, 2015 Lowell, MI
Next summer, I'll be again conducting a 4-day portrait painting workshop that focuses on both painting skills and on the business aspects of art.

I am very excited to teach in this beautiful facility, in an equally beautiful setting - it's been years - and I mean YEARS - since I've been in the Upper Midwest for summer, and it will be a fantastic time of year.

Again, space is EXTREMELY limited. I do not take more than 12 students in my workshops; every one of my students deserves a lot of personal attention, and I don't believe that can be accomplished with a larger student group.

Details to follow:)
