This painting was completed on Oct. 8, 2020 Title: "Casual Setting."

Surface: Ampersand Gessobord

Ampersand’s patented Archival-seal technology means panels are acid-free, eliminate support-induced discoloration, and are tested to last 200 years. Patented coatings designed so that paint colors remain true and brilliant. Made with premium hardboard for a warp-resistant panel. Endorsed by conservators worldwide.

Each painting takes several days to 2 weeks to complete. The digital picture here doesn't capture the intricate detail or subtle color changes - it's much better in person! Each painting requires several layers of paint and many hours of work. This is an original artwork, no copies have been or will be made, and it's signed on the front. The painting has been varnished which will protect it for life.

I'm a professional artist, and my work includes florals, landscapes, cityscapes, beach scenes, and small pet paintings. I have a BFA degree from The Art Institute of Southern California, Laguna Beach, CA (now called Laguna College of Art & Design); have won many awards, and have been published in The Artist’s Magazine for which I wrote an article about the process and steps I use for oil painting. I was an Illustrator for several years and then switched over to fine art. I have exhibited and sold my art in many prestigious art galleries.

Thanks for your interest!
