These are a few examples of my child and adult portraits and floral paintings~ all are painted on stretched canvas or gessoed masonite panels with oil paint, except for the pencil drawing.

Girl with Bouquet
Life-Sized Commissioned Oil Painting.... This was one of my first commissioned portraits. My husband took the photos, and the bouquet was the perfect addition. Their back yard made a beautiful background.

Bouquet of Flowers
Commissioned Oil Painting... Peonies are such beautiful flowers, and fragile. The lady loved her painting, and it was perfect for the spot she had in mind.

Lady With a Violin
Commissioned Oil Painting...The husband wanted a special gift for his wife. This portrait was challenging, to keep the emphasis on her face rather than her violin, but it turned out well. The painting has a peaceful feeling, and the couple was pleased.
