Landscape watercolors for sale, and I accept commissions for original watercolor paintings of your favorite view.

Thanks for stopping by!  Now that you’ve had a chance to look at my watercolor paintings on the Gallery page, let me repeat that I offer landscape watercolors which are for sale and I also accept commissions for original watercolor paintings of your favorite view.  Though numbered, these paintings are not in chronological order. But since I often paint several pictures from the same areas, I found that using a number and location was the easiest way to title and organize them.

Each picture is matted, and ready for framing -- dimensions are indicated. They come in an acid-free acetate sleeve for protection.  All my pictures are for sale, unless otherwise noted as SOLD, or in PRIVATE COLLECTION. Ideally, I would love for you to see my paintings in person, but a website is a convenient way to reach more people, and I’ve tried to make the photos of them look their best!

All of my paintings are from photographs I’ve taken, and so I have a personal connection to them….a feeling I get when I look at them, and a reminder of a place and a time in my life.  I have given paintings as gifts for special occasions. Every one of my family members has asked me if I would be willing to paint some of their favorite places from their photographs, and I have loved the challenge of capturing something special and meaningful for each of them.  Over the years, I have filled every wall available to me with my paintings.

So now, with this blog, I plan on posting my pictures as I paint them.  Wherever I travel, I have an eye open for good subject matter.  I want to add locations from all over the world.  If you have traveled somewhere and didn’t have time to buy original artwork at a local gallery or gift shop, perhaps you’ll find something here that just feels right to you.  Or I can paint something for you from your own travel photos.

If you have a photo that you treasure, of a place that you hold dear, I am happy to consult with you about translating that photo into a watercolor painting. I will tell you honestly if I feel I can do it justice. I prefer to focus on landscapes; I don’t do portraits. My goal is to capture the light, the color, and the “feeling” of a place. And all of my commissions are guaranteed.  If you don’t love the result, you are not obligated to buy it.

If you are interested, please contact me and we can discuss options, prices, and a timeframe.

Again, thanks for stopping by to look! I’m always painting, so check back for updates. And remember, an original artwork becomes a family treasure for you or, perhaps, a unique gift for someone else.
