Still have openings for house portrait commissions for Christmas
Hello friends and clients, Well 2020 has been quite a year! I hope you and your family are doing fine. Let's all take a win on making it to October and now we have Christmas to look forward to! No matter what is happening in the world, nothing can wipe out the love and good cheer of the holiday season. It's always been one of my favorite times of the year. Getting together with family and friends is what makes it special -- whether virtually (this year) or in the flesh. This is always a busy time for me -- not to mention my new coffee table book Hand Painted Homes Across America is about to be released -- however I still have openings for some more house portrait commissions. …

Bringing Spring into Your Home
While turmoil rages in the world . . . spring is here and knocking at your door In the words of William Shakespeare.... “April hath put a spirit of youth in everything." Being that I love to travel, my first response to being stuck at home was outrage. When I got over that and faced the fact that this is a necessity right now, my usual optimism set in and I decided to find a silver lining in this situation. Besides doing my usual house portrait work, I realized this is the perfect opportunity to make great strides in compiling my coffee table book so it can be published and released later this year. I confess that I have made more progress on this project in the last two weeks…
