Portrait of Juan Wu Li
I have gotten to be very particular about taking posthumous portrait commissions. They pose some singular challenges to any portrait artist. My goal is to capture life, or at least to create portraits that have the feeling of being painted from life. This can be very...
Forever Young

I have reached out to Susie Jackson's survivors, who seem to be very supportive of my memorial portrait. What do you think? ...
Say her name: Miss Susie Jackson ...
