This is a preparatory sketch used to figure out roughly my composition for a commissioned painting measuring 52″ by 36″ vertically. As you can see I figure out my measurements first and then begin to grid my design for transfer to my canvas.

The actor, Adam Beach from such well known movies as ‘Flags of our Fathers’ and ‘Windtalkers‘, has commissioned my newest sculpture. Click below, to see it’s beginnings…
‘Annabelle’s Smile’ is my latest available painting. 12″ x 16″ on canvas. Price $1200. She currently shows in Hueys Fine Art Gallery, or private viewing arrangements can be made. This was a personal painting choice, however I always enjoy doing commissioned portraits for customers. If you would like to commission a portrait or even a personal painting I’d be happy to respond. ‘Contact Me’ and we’ll get started!
I painted ‘Four Running Horses’ within the home of where is was commissioned to be hung, in St. George Utah. The very exciting thing about this painting is that from start to finish this painting was completed in a total of 3 days! My customer in this case also actually worked along side me on this painting. This was both instrumental in allowing me to teach her some very advanced painting skills, while also very helpful in that we were able to complete this painting together much faster than if I had been working on it alone. In many ways this was an ideal setup for both myself and my customer. I welcome more arrangements like this one for the future!
Hi everyone,
Sometimes I have clients ask me to create a mural for the sculpture backdrop. This is one example of a mural I did recently for my “To Chase a Dream By Moonlight” sculpture. The purpose was to have the mural provide a complementary backdrop that harmonizes, not only with the theme, but also the prevailing landscape around the clients home in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
