I've had requests in the past asking me to post a step by step "work in progress". That's exactly what you will find on this page. It's not only fun to watch, but it helps me see things I need to change, repair, or add.

Enjoy!

Current project: This is my sister's beloved Sammie. Sammie was sent to God earlier this year due to age and declining health. You pet owners know how difficult this is for everyone associated with the pet. This is one of the things I find so rewarding about rendering pet portraits. When you can catch the spirit of the pet in the portrait, it becomes a lasting memory you can't get from photograhs. Stop back for updates.
