A flower painting. Added the blue in after I noticed all that orange. Flowers are a new challenge, mainly how to not overpaint. 10x8inches.

My first baby portrait. I was calling about a charge from a business I did not know. The man found my website and asked if I ever did children’s portraits. I said no. Then I thought, why not try? I really loved the reference photo he sent me. So this is the result.

A wedding painting for two of my favorite people! Shelby Lunderman and Taylor Jones, step-son and new step-daughter got married in March on Whidbey Island in Washington.
Walking together happily ever after! ♥️.

A 2 year late wedding present for my nephew and new niece. A December wedding! It was before the pandemic, a Christmas wedding. I am not a live wedding painter. I get so many requests for that service. I paint from favorite photos after the event which allows me to work in my studio. Are these two not just charming and beautiful? Almost looks like they are from another century! ( except for the hip glasses! )

Most recent commission. A Christmas present to a couple from the groom’s mom. His father took this golden light photo over 10 years ago. I was thrilled to paint this. My favorite kind of light to paint!

This painting was given as a surprise gift to the bride and groom. Five aunts of the bride got together and commissioned the painting. What a way to celebrate that special moment. Painted from a reference photograph by the talented Addie Roberge

“I was so happy to be able to give the kids this gorgeous painting that captures the colors and movement of their wedding day. And I love to see it on their wall when I visit. It is a new family treasure!” ~Margaret O
