What subjects do you do?
I specialize in landscape and still life, and will consider animal and human portraits as well.
Past custom subjects have included: roses and dahlias grown by a loved one, a home, a famous English garden, wineries, businesses, animals - snakes, beaver, beloved pets and horses, garden and kitchen utensils - many things with special meaning for the commissioner.

What media?
I specialize in oil paintings and digital illustration.
