We take photographs to accurately capture what we see. I paint to interpret - not reproduce - what I see. My paintings tend to be realistic and detailed. But I take artistic license to dramatize, simplify or combine different images and ideas together to tell a "story". See if you can identify the stories they tell...
Today, I paint with watercolor and acrylic. With watercolor, I can create paintings with fluidity, liveliness and spontaneity covering traditional as well as contemporary themes. With acrylic, I can create layered textures and greater realism.
I also do commissioned works especially on animals and portraits. For commissioned work, I have an accept only if satisfied policy. If you are not completely satisfied and happy with the painting, you can just walk away without any payment whatsoever.
