This year flew!

I can hardly believe it is the end of the year already. This year really flew by. I will be posting some finished commissioned pieces that has been keeping me so busy. I was so fortunate to have been invited to the Buffalo International Horse Show in September in Buffalo, N.Y. where I picked up about 12 commissions, mostly Christmas gifts.

Amazingly, I have had a blast doing these portraits. I say that since a few years ago, I found myself wanting to paint other things, such as landscapes. I still love painting landscapes, but for some reason, I have a real thirst for portrait work all of a sudden.

Since the economy is so slow, I have found that my portrait work has provided a much needed income. I have plans to continue to pursue portrait work and landscapes. I will be actively looking for gallery representation next year for my work.

Here are several of my most recent finished portraits.
