Unlike photography, watercolor painting places me in the enviable position of being able to make artistic refinements to your original photograph by adding to, deleting from, or making alterations to the finished painting.

Don't like the background in your original snapshot? I can add a new one from a second photograph you provide, like that graceful weeping willow, or palm tree that perhaps you've always wanted in the back yard...

Or I can simply delete the unwanted background, or foregound, highlighting the view in a vignette format.

Unsightly power poles, street lights or buildings can all be deleted from your outdoor photographs, leaving the emphasis on the view you want.

Your Custom Watercolor is
available in five sizes:

      16" x 24"   (40 x 60 cm)
     12" x 18"   (30 x 46 cm)
      8" x 12"   (20 x 30 cm)
      6" x 9"     (15 x 23 cm)

Or for something intriguing
and a little different, I can paint you
a miniature portrait, sized at

      4" x 6"     (10 x 15 cm)

Painting in one-dimensional color always fascinates me, and using these instant mood- and era-setting abilities, I can convert your color snapshot into the antiqued warmth of sepia, or the muted tones of black-and-white, as in my watercolors Saint John from the Signal, above, and Sunday Morning, Grand Manan, below.
