The painted portrait has long been a tradition of love, honor and respect. It is not
a photograph, nor is it produced by a machine; rather, it is unique piece of original
art, rendered by the artists' hand.
The portraits in this book primarily represent commissions I have completed in recent
years, yet also include a number of samples as well as portraits I've painted sheerly
for my own pleasure.
