About five years ago, I decided to become a dog painter. I don't know why. I had no education or training in art. I had never painted anyting. I could hardly draw. But I said to myself, like I always do, why not? I started out painting my own dogs. With five of them in the house, I always had plenty of models. Then I did some for friends. Then I had a show and they wrote about me in the newspaper and I started taking commissions. Now I'm in my garage painting every day. It brings me a peace and a joy I can't even describe. If you'd like me to paint your dog, please see the Order A Custom Portrait page, send me some pictures, and I'll get started right away. Thanks!
