Recently completed a commission project for a woman who has a beautiful pagoda and garden in her backyard. I enjoyed painting this for her, trying to capture the rich texture and lush colors of her garden. 30×24 oil on canvas. (SOLD)

Here’s another look at the colorful buildings of Willemstad, Curacao. I painted a slightly different perspective as a commissioned wedding gift, and this was the alternate painting selection to that. (I typically create two paintings for commission projects, providing the client a choice.) 24×18 oil on canvas.
Sometimes, I tell myself that whenever I leave someplace special — be it the beach, the mountains or wherever — that place ceases to exist once I’ve left. It somehow makes my leaving it behind a bit easier. Of course, I know the waves keep rolling up onto the beach, or, as in the case of this recently completed painting, the brook keeps babbling away. 48×36 oil on canvas.
