COMMISSION AN ORIGINAL

Some stories deserve to become more than photographs.

I create one-of-a-kind oil paintings inspired by the people, animals, places, and memories that matter most. Each commission is developed collaboratively and painted by hand in my Northern Colorado studio.

PAST COMMISSIONS

A selection of one-of-a-kind artwork created for collectors.

A man dressed in camouflage pants, a dark jacket, and an orange hat is walking through a snowy landscape while carrying a large backpack with orange and green colors. He has a beard and is holding a ski pole in his right hand. There are leafless shrubs and small trees around him, and the sky appears to be during sunset or sunrise.
A realistic painting of a brown and white dog, possibly a Labrador Retriever, wearing a red collar with a silver tag. The dog has yellow eyes and is set against a dark background.
A painting of a hunting dog retrieving a pheasant, holding a wild pheasant in its mouth.
A painting of a brown horse with a white mark on its face standing in a field of tall golden grass, with green trees in the background.
A detailed pencil sketch featuring a German Shorthaired pointer dog with a joyous expression, set against a backdrop of an American flag, soaring pheasants, a hunter aiming a rifle, more pheasants in the foreground.

HOW COMMISSIONS WORK

1. Tell me your story
Share your idea, reference photographs, preferred size, and anything meaningful you'd like incorporated into the painting.

2. We'll develop the concept
We'll work together to determine the composition and details. For more complex commissions, preliminary sketches may be used to develop the final design.

3. Your painting begins
Once the concept is approved and the deposit is received, I begin creating your original artwork by hand in my Northern Colorado studio.

4. The finished original is yours
When your painting is complete, you'll receive photographs for final review before the remaining balance is due and the artwork is prepared for pickup or shipping.
