Roy


20 x 24 inches, oil on canvas
This is the second portrait I've done for this family. The boy's mother wanted the portrait to show the back view of her son, but she also wanted the painting to show something of what he looks like from the front. The solution was to paint his reflection in the glass.

Glen Manor Ravine


20 x 20 inches, oil on canvas

This commission is actually a portrait of the client's two sons in a nearby ravine. I love how it is the opposite of a formal, posed children's portrait.
