Warren
I've had this design in my sketchbook for a while, and the slow season has given me the chance to paint it. This 8 x 8 oil painting is currently for sale!

Koi
I have to admit this is one of my favorite paintings I have created and a fun way to close out the year. The client asked me to create a piece inspired by a painting she had found of a girl surrounded by fish. This is my interpretation and I look forward to creating more images with a similar composition and/or gold detailed jacket.

Commission
I had the honor of being asked to paint a "feather armor" girl inspired by a client's daughter. This 2 x 3ft oil included some detailed gold chain details I've been wanting to try out along with warrior braids that I love to create.

Stormy Sea
Tried my hand at creating a large version of these bell alarm clocks. This face measures around 8.5in in diameter and features a stormy ship scene. I'm currently taking commissions for paintings including any custom clocks.

Flock and See
Holiday season means making more clock paintings! One was a request for another "eye" design like some of the former pieces and the second is an idea I've wanted to create for a while; something a little more surrealist and Wes Anderson inspired. The fish is for sale and there's still one more big clock to come!

Porcelain Figure
I was asked recently to create a version of my Porcelain series that included more of the figure. This painting was definitely a challenge but oil painting is always a nice change from murals when the seasons change. This one is 2 x 3ft on cradleboard and a private commission.
