I am often asked if I can do a painting from someone's photograph of their cow, horse, daughter, family dog, etc.  The answer is yes.  Painting from photographs is all that I do.  Every one of my original oil paintings was done from a photograph that I have taken.  The style can vary from loose to almost photo real.  With my original oils  it depends upon my mood, with your photos it depends on your preference.  This will all be discussed ahead of time to insure that you receive the heirloom painting you are expecting.
If you would like to see the original photos from any of my paintings, please ask, here is one example.  The intention here
was not to be photo real, but to be realistic in a painterly style that captured the mood, the softness and sweetness of the scene.  My subject range is limitless, if you have a photo of it, it can become a treasured oil painting.

Another example is my neighbor's Harley Davidson Fat Boy.
The idea here was to be more photo real, but still be clearly a painting.  If you would like to see larger images for comparison, please email me and I will be happy to send it to you.
