I’ve been blessed with creative clients who let me work on their projects. One of my clients brings really cool personal heirlooms for me to add portraits onto. Last year I got to paint this acoustic guitar.

This year, my project from them was an antique saw. I was to paint a portrait, with a snowmobile and some rose breasted grosbeaks.

I love every opportunity to make a painting more personal to the client. I enjoy adding the small details that mean everything to the person who owns the piece after its complete.

A final photo, I want to share how I may start off the painting very neat and organized with my tools. But when it’s complete, my supplies are a whirlwind of chaos. I work best in a flow state of mind, I grab the colors I need and I drop them just as quick, constantly moving and unaware of the eventual mess that my surroundings quickly become.
