Hello and Welcome to my page
My art was first replicated in full-color print editions by Aaron Ashley Publishing of New York, NY back in early 90’s. Since then my art appears on Taylor Brooke wine labels, Putnam Savings bank debit card, Reminder phone book covers and has appeared in various publications. My art hangs in many institutions including Historical societies, Colleges, Banks and Town Halls throughout the N.E. Region.
These are photos of original house portraits I have done in the Northeast area of the U.S. I paint in a folk style which can be seen in my brightly colored and primitive style. These are examples of my work and Not For Sale. The majority of House portraits that I do are for gift giving purposes which makes it a one of a kind present.
I also do Town/City portraits which would consist of many of the town's prominent historical bldgs along with many structures that make a town/city what it is through it's buildings.
A house portrait would normally be 18" x 24" depending on your needs and priced at $400. Each painting is completely researched and as personal as I can make it by adding people, pets and items you identify with around your home. I paint on masonite or canvas with acrylic paints. The finished portrait includes a handmade frame with a traditional folk style look to it. Color of frame can be New England Red, Hunter Green or Black depending on the strongest color in the painting. The painting comes with a frame but this is a computer simulation of frame.
A Town portrait which would include up to 15-20 different buildings and would come in a size of approximately 28" x 36" would start at $1,200. A project of this nature would require extensive research with photos and information on the town/city.
