"That face, that wonderful face ...It shines, it glows all over the place ...And how I love to watch it change expression...Each look becomes the prize of my possession."

That's from an old song (a medley from "Color Me Barbra", by Streisand) and it sums up my fascination and delight with the wonderfully expressive faces of dogs and cats. I LOVE to paint pets...and pets with their people, too. How about you and your special friend?

Commissioning a portrait is easy. I paint in acrylic on canvas and I use photographs as reference-- either the shots you provide or the the ones I take. Click on the Paint Me! button, above, for a download-able PDF file of photo guidelines, fees and the how-to of commisioning a portrait. This PDF file will open in a separate window; you can view it there or print it.

Click on the Portraits link on the navigation bar, then click on any thumbnail to see the image larger. The original paintings may have been sold or commissioned, but some images are available as high-quality giclee prints; if so, the info will be there.

Please check back often...I'm always painting some wonderful new face!
