Mostly self-taught with a natural ability to draw at an early age. I lean toward realistic work and I pay attention to detail. I've worked with oil paints in the past, but mostly acrylics. Lately I am exploring watercolor and have done a few ink & watercolor paintings. My subject range is wide, including some custom portraits and pets.

The Lion
16×20 acrylic on canvas Composed from a couple images. I love the big cats. This one strikes me as majestic! When I saw it, I had to paint it. Had fun using sponge, brush and palette knife.
Kitten & the ladybug

View of a Whale
