Time-lapse Video of a Pastel Painting of Fisherman on the Spanish River, Ontario

Most of my commissions represent great sentimental value to my clients/recipients and this one is no exception. The gentleman portrayed in the scene is unfortunately no longer with us and the family wanted something to remember him by that would bring back fond memories.

The scene is located on the Spanish River at a favorite fishing spot in front of the family cottage on a calm but sunny and warm day.  I can't think of a better portrait to commemorate this particular individual.

Pastel horse on Suede Paper

My new found love of pastel pencils on suede paper. I also tried velour paper and it is quite comparable and the effect much the same.
This is a work in progress I started a while ago. This painting is of a grey Arabian horse that I photographed one summer during a local horse jumping show.

Portrait of Brother Richard

I rarely draw people but this was a special commission for a dear friend. This portrait is of Brother Richard whom is a faith healer and will be presented to him as a Christmas gift. I love the way this portrait was framed, using a cathedral type cut near the top (arch) and a beautiful laser cut cross below the drawing, in a beautiful metal frame...perfect for framing graphite artwork!
