Recently, I completed three 22″ x 30″ custom figurative line illustrations on luxurious, 100% cotton, acid-free Antique White Canson Edition papers.

Abstract, Figurative and Romantic Custom Drawings
This week I’m starting on final drawings for an art collector in the United Arab Emirates. These will be three figurative, abstract, romance-themed drawings on luxurious, antique white, 100% cotton, acid-free papers. The drawings will be completed in black, navy blue and red inks. While starting the initial layout, I had on some smooth jazzContinue reading “Abstract, Figurative and Romantic Custom Drawings”
Lito Marcos – Portrait Art Drawing
My wife and I went to Argentina in August with my mother-in-law, so I wanted to give my mother-in-law a gift that would be relevant to that visit. Since I’m an Artist, I thought of creating a portrait! So, I drew a portrait of her father Marcos, who was from Buenos Aires and was theContinue reading “Lito Marcos – Portrait Art Drawing”
Custom Painting of French Country Estate
The other day I finished this custom oil painting of a country estate in La Tuiliere, France. Looks like a nice place, huh? The painting has now been shipped off to Colorado to an avid art collecting couple. The husband is going to surprise his wife with it (they vacationed there).

First Layer of Paint – La Tuiliere, France
When applying the first layer of paint to a painting, it’s always like looking at a piece of art that just as easily could have been made by a 5 year old version of me: Then, with each successive layer of paint and fine tuning, the art starts maturing and eventually turns into aContinue reading “First Layer of Paint – La Tuiliere, France”

A Confession of Love and Proposal for Marriage through Fine Art
Will you marry me? That is the question that will be proposed when this painting is shown (along with a ring) to the surprise recipient – my client’s girlfriend and soon-to-be fiancee. The idea was born 6 years ago, before he had met his girlfriend, when he was envisioning and dreaming of someone that wouldContinue reading “A Confession of Love and Proposal for Marriage through Fine Art”
Themes of Heaven, Hell and Love
While most of the East Coast of the U.S. is keeping an eye on the record-setting storm (I am too, actually), I’m busy creating a custom, Renaissance-style painting with themes of heaven, hell and love!

Literature, art and a personal connection. “Facing the Storm,” interpreted from The Catcher in the Rye.
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been writing about the “Catcher in the Rye” custom oil painting I’ve been working on for Jeff, a client of mine. It’s called “Facing the Storm.” Alas, I have the completed pictures and story behind the art! The Scene from the book… “Anyway, I keep picturing all theseContinue reading “Literature, art and a personal connection. “Facing the Storm,” interpreted from The Catcher in the Rye.”
