DIANE AND JERRY'S HOME:
Pictured below is a commissioned home portrait which involved
taking some "artistic license". This beautiful
home sits on a very wooded lot, backing up to the White Clay
Creek preserve. My client wished to have the autumn
foliage, and the creek in the painting. The problem was
that when the trees have their foliage, the house was hardly
visible from standing down by the creek. What I did was to
take photos both in the winter...to be able to see the home, and
in the autumn for the color. The drawing involved removing
a couple of trees, and slightly changing the angle of the
creek. Upon approval by my client of the sketch, I created
this full sheet watercolor painting. They love it!!!
SPUMONI GARDENS....AND A LOVE STORY!: Stacey commissioned me to paint this restaurant in Brooklyn, NY for her husband Allen as an anniversary present. This was one of their favorite places to hang out when they were dating, and where Allen proposed to Stacey. I created this painting by doing some research on line and by watching their engagement video. The restaurant is portrayed how it looked in 1992 when they got engaged, and I also included figures of them and their friends in the painting. This was a wonderful and very thoughtful gift...Allen was greatly surprised!!
