A few of my pieces

These pieces have all been done in the past few years. Some have been commissioned some I chose because I wanted to see if I could accomplish what I envisioned when I started them and others were just for the love of putting a brush to canvas. The picture of the pelican is actually a friend of mine named fernando he is a brown pelican I met while vacationing in Ft. Walton , FL. He had been caught in a plastic bag the wild life authorities had freed him but he was injured and could not fly great distances so in exchange for his companionship I fed him the smaller fish that I caught off the dock where I was staying at the Leeside motel. I have seen him since then but our visits are few and far between. The Little girl is the daughter of a friend her name is Destiny. I came across a photograph of her when she was three she is a four years older now but I wanted to capture her with the expression she had in the picture. The other painting is a commission and at the clients request painted in black and white this one was a challenge because most of the people and animals had passed away when I undertook this project.
