I really like the confidence in this image. It perfectly captures the child’s personality.

Photographing children in backlighting can be difficult, but paintings often turn that same challenge into something more distinctive, expressive, and intriguing.

I painted our two dogs: Zoey, a Mexican hairless and Tina, a Chinese Crested.
​
They both had the habit of looking around the corner of the door before entering my studio.

It was a pose they designed. I just put them together.

​As much I like charcoal, there is a quiet element to mixing the charcoal with red conte, especially for girls

It is fun to have a five-year-old, like Poppy, who is excited and happy to have her portrait painted.

Mary Cassatt famously said, "I love to paint children. They are so natural and truthful."
​
I can't agree more.

I added side light flowing through the orchid which gives this painting a special feeling of sunlight and makes the orchid come to life.
​
Side lighting in still life oil painting is the premier technique for creating dramatic contrast, depth, and three-dimensional form by illuminating about three-quarters of the subject.

Orchid & Sunshine is currently on display at  Beverly McNeil Gallery in Birmingham, Alabama.

On a gentle summer afternoon as Judi and I ambled gently through her garden, she seemed the most relaxed and peaceful. This is where she was at ease
surrounded by her flowers and trees.  
​
Her smile said it all.

Eliza was a joy to paint!
​
We played LEGO’s to get to know one another, sharing conversation and ideas.  The relaxed play time and focus shows through in her expression.

Paintings of pets with children often capture themes of companionship, innocence, and joy, but the pets don’t always want to cooperate!

Placing the dog in a relaxing position within the portrait on the couch was a good option, the family was happy, so was I.
