Straight Ahead: Watercolor Portraits
I've been doing some simpler watercolor portraits, while on the road and as commissions. So I thought I would share a few here...
Want A Portrait?
If you would like to commission a portrait of someone, let me know. I love doing these!
My rates are super reasonable and depends on size or complexity. All I need is a few photographs, which you can send via email. Or if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, we can meet up somewhere to talk. I also do more complex oil portraits, which would run a bit more...

A Santa Barbara Family
This is a large oil painting I recently completed for a commission.
It is for a family portrait and it depicts them in front of their Santa Barbara home. I worked from an old photo of the group, posing around 1980. And from a few fotos of the family home in the background.

Running On Empty
This is a landscape of an abandoned gas station. Isolated and abandoned buildings are inspiring, full of forgotten memories and histories. The textures of worn and crumbling faded facades are so tactile and beautiful!

Marriage Equality Exhibition in The OC
Opening up Friday, May 3rd is a huge exhibition and benefit in support of marriage equality.
I created the artwork (above) for the show, titled "The Knot" - mixed media on wood, plus it is framed in a gorgeous antique frame. It is inspired by history, friendships and vintage imagery. After all, gay couples are not a new phenomenon, they just don't need to hide anymore...
This is a great cause and filled with tons of different styles of art - come on down and show your support!
Art With An Agenda
Art With An Agenda
Two Day Opening Reception: Friday May 3rd & Saturday May 4th 2013, 6-11 pm
On View: May 3 – May 25th, 2013
At: The Magoski Arts Colony, 223/225 W. Santa Fe, Fullerton, CA
Website: ArtWithAnAgenda.org
In 2008, Proposition 8, which banned same-sex marriage in the State of California, passed with a little more than 52% of the vote. Fullerton, combined with our neighbors in the northern most parts of Orange County, however, passed Prop 8 by 63%. It is important that those who aim to monopolize love and marriage understand to whom they are denying a fundamental social institution. In a small way this exhibit hopes to further acceptance and understanding through art which is inspired by the belief that all non-exploitative love is beautiful and valid.
