Molly's Dog

This is an oil portrait I just completed for a client in Atlanta. The dog's name was Max. He was a beautiful dog and very well mannered. He would sit and pose for me while I took tons of photos of him. It was almost like he knew what I was doing so he was on his best behavior. The only negative I had to say about him was that he shed like no other. I left there looking like a Yetti!

Dapple Draft

This is a painting I did a couple of years ago just to sell at an art show. It is still one of my favorite paintings I have done. I like the mood of it. I should have just kept it for myself but I ended up donating it to an auction to raise money for college scholorships. When I saw what it brought at the auction I was sick because I felt like I had just given it away. If you are like me, you always say "Oh well, I'll just paint another one to keep for myself" but that never happens.

I'd walk a mile

I did this 11x14 oil painting a few years ago just because I wanted to. I sold it to a guy at an art show who commissioned me to to do 2 horse head portraits to go on either side of it above his couch. He thought that it would be funny to have 2 beautiful horses and one ugly camel. He had a great sense of humor and a big wallet to go with it! Yeah

Whippet good!

This is a portrait sample I did  in what I call my Sepia style. It is aprox 24x24" done on illus. board. I use Prismacolor pencils and airbrush acrylic to accomplish this look.

Warmblood Horse Portrait


This a recent portrait I did of a horse from Alabama. It was done in oil on masonite 24x24". It was done in thin glazes using Liquin as a medium so that the multi layers of color would dry overnight.
