A FEW OF MY SOLD PIECES

"Red Cliff Village' acrylic on plaster. 2003

This is from a 3x7 foot mural done in someone's rec room. The painting went well with the color of their wall which is the sky behind the mountains. It took about 2-3 visits. Customer sent a letter of appreciation (above) and a check which was in addition to what I had already asked for. They felt that the price we agreed to was too low for the work that was done.

"Small Wonders Day Care Mural''   household indoor paint 2004

"Portrait of a Dog that Wouldn't Sit Still"  oil, 1999

this was one of my first requests to be commissioned out of college. Was difficult since the neither of us had a camera and customer did not have a pic of her dog.

untitled, acrylic  2002

was commissioned by a coworker who viewed my album. First time someone besides family advised that I was charging too little.

Please do not dupicate images.. ask for prints or orginal work at affordable prices,  yes, my work has been duplicated before (was repainted after customer gave the painter a photo of my work).

BIO

BIO

I began painting on canvas in the 3rd grade after watching my mother, Bob Ross and art teachers.  I then began to enter art contests and my classmates began to ask me how I learned to draw or paint as my homeroom teacher would placed each painting on above the chalk board.  

I kept painting throughout my youth and after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice at Kent State University, I wished that I had majored or minored in some sort of art program. However, I was able to pick up some elective classes in drawing and sculpting. It was here that I learned the art of using rough brush strokes and line drawing and etching. While at the mall in Cleveland, someone showed me a book by Thomas Kinkaid which inspired me to add more variations of color to my landscape paintings.  

After graduation co-workers began to see my work and personal orders were requested. I once sketched someone's dog which wouldn't sit still and painted the Naval ship which my neighbor was stationed on, in exchange for him replacing my timing belt on my Honda Civic-a $500 job!

In 2002-03  I enrolled and graduated from Art Instruction Schools which enhanced my drawing skills and my quality of work in painting improved.  

Although I am still learning, I believe the almighty has given me a talent that I must use to glorify Him and bless your home or business. A talent should not be stored in a box or attic, but should be shared with others. I hope my work as you see it in my blog posts, Facebook, or in person, will inspire you to use your talents, or find a hidden gift. My work, if placed in your gallery, home, or office; will enhance your surroundings and spark conversation.

"I Will Praise You in the Storm"

How and why I created this pic: Several years ago I showed a man my work, one being a picture of a lightning storm over a desert.  He stated that he wanted one done of a man praising God with hands held up under the storm clouds in a similar setting. I was able to sell the work to him and a couple of years later I met the man again on a call (during my full time job  in law enforcement). He was at a different apartment, but I recogmised him with his dred locks, and behind him was the picture I had done, while hanging on a wall. The wall was red like the sky above. He said that  he actually had the paint made up to match the picture. That meant a lot to a young artist trying to get started with a full time job and family. My wife wanted the same picture so I attempted to re-create it which is the one pictured above (you're viewing a fraction of it).
