Paintings on Canvas

Swiss Mountains
Size: 20" x 28"
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Date: 2004
This painting was commissioned for a resident who just asked for "pretty mountains and sheep." I wanted to paint this mountain as realistic as possible, considering that most of my mountains up to this point resembled Bob Ross's paintings. I initially started painting with the Bob Ross kit, and the rest was self taught through prayer and practice.



Perkins Music
Size: 48" x 72"
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Date: 2006
This painting was commissioned by a resident who makes his own guitars and other musical instruments. His wife wanted me to paint all his instruments as if they were displayed in a store front window. This painting currently hangs in the music room of his home where their band practices.






New Orleans
Size: 18" x 24"
Medium: Watercolor
Date: 2002

This painting was commissioned before Hurricane Katina destroyed most of New Orleans. The woman who asked for this painting, had a picture that she wanted replicated as a watercolor. The only thing that was not painted were the cars that were parked in front of the building in order to keep the painting from being date as easily.
