Here's a zoomed-in detail of a commission I worked on last year.



I remember every house I've lived in, the little secret spaces and places that made each one special. I hope this sketch brings back such memories to the recipient.

I'm so honored whenever people ask me to do a commissioned sketch or painting. I can only hope my interpretation of the subject comes remotely close to capturing what's in their head and heart. Here's one I did recently of Ocean Beach in San Francisco.



Lots of love from me to those who love this special place.

Recently I had the pleasure of working on a commissioned gift - sketches of two houses that meant a great deal to the recipient. Something old, something new.



We may live in several places throughout our lives, and some are more special or memorable than others. Photographs are helpful memory aids, but I like to think that a sketch or a painting offers something intangible, something more than what the camera alone can capture.

Was commissioned last year to do a watercolor of a dearly departed cat. I don't often sketch pets, even from photos, so this was an opportunity to get out of the comfort zone.
