For my newest work, the portraits of dogs have captured my imagination. I have found them rich and rewarding subjects. They present the same challenges as my earlier work as far as color and composition, but with the added dimension of the direct, pure nature of the subject.

Down through the ages of art history, dogs have held a prominent position in painting. Through their expressive features and fur I am able to expand my explorations with color and the brush. As I work with them, I find strange emotional connections to those of my human models.

To share my admiration for these creatures I am making commissions available. If you would like to commission a portrait of your dog or animal, please use the contact information. I work from first hand contact drawings and/or photographs.
