"SunnyCove"
oil on gallery wrapped canvas
8"x 10"

This is a commissioned painting. The client requested a painting
as a gift for her longtime friend. They have joked about being together
some day at a retirement center they named - SunnyCove.
She wanted the two of them sitting on the porch, drinking wine.
This was a difficult painting to do, as I only had a few small
snapshots that she posted on her facebook page but she thought
it turned out just right! So it was a success! :)

"Two Bits"
oil on canvas
16"x20"

This was a really fun and interesting commission!
When she was little,visiting her grandfather,he would often
give her two quarters and say, "Here's your two bits".
So, in honor of her grandfather after his passing and to raise
money to fight Diabetes,she started a bike riding group and
named it TWO BITS.
She wanted a painting,for her home, that depicted more than
one bike and quarters in the wheels but she also wanted to be
able to have the image on their shirts.
This is what I created! Hope you enjoy it!!! :)

"The Proposal"
oil on canvas
11"x14"

This was a commission that has a really fun story!
I was approached by a young man who had BIG plans to propose to his sweetheart. These big plans included the idea of having a painting of the way he imagined it would be on that day. He had EVERY detail worked out in his head. It seemed like a big challenge but he was so sweet and it was such a romantic idea that I took it on.
He sent lots of photos of himself and his gal and said it would be on a path at a particular woods, what he would be wearing, what she would be wearing (even the shoes they would wear, how he would propose and make sure a black ring box was in his hand. Now,take into consideration that I had never met the gal and all the photos he sent me were not 3/4 or profile views and NOT in the special blue dress!
