Quality Guarantee: All my watercolours are painted with only modern professional grade watercolour paints on Museum exhibition grade watercolour papers, they are extremely lightfast and will become a family heirloom and passed down to subsequent generations. If properly cared for, watercolour paintings will last as long, if not longer, than oil paintings. I only paint on 100% cotton rag paper, mostly Arches and Fabriano, and frame to conservation standard with acid free materials.

Size Guide
My paintings are all "stock" sizes (H x W) and are either landscape or portrait orientation:
My frames are all simple and elegant white, similar to the picture at right. |
Everywhere is paradise! No matter where we are in the world everywhere is beautiful with it's share of amazing people and stories. My paintings have been described as "happy" and "feel good", there is a very deliberate reason for this: there is enough ugly, too many senseless killings and too much pain in the world.
I'm not into shock value, I'm too old for that nonsense, I'm just a painter who prefers to communicate via a brush.
I laugh while I paint (in between the scowling and cussing, of course) especially when a watercolour accident makes a most wonderful shape all by itself. My goal is to give you something beautiful you can look at everyday and find a brush stroke or a nuance of colour that, perhaps, you didn't see yesterday.
