BIOGRAPHY AS AN ARTIST<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t

I could go into all the details of my art education, the awards I have won, the infinite number of Art & Craft shows I have performed in as well as the long hours I have personally studied on my own behalf. Suffice it to say it all comes down to doing art for the sake of art. No other form of occupation has given me the peace and joy I experience than sitting down in front of my easel and,\u2026. being creative.<\/p>\n

I would, however, like to bring to mention two artists that took me under their wing and patiently molded me to become the artist I am today.<\/p>\n

The first was Mike Molnar who taught Old Master style painting at LCCC in Nanticoke PA and Hope Horn who taught color function and theory in Scranton, PA. They were both dear to my heart and exceptional as teachers as well as friends. My goal is to carry on the joy they brought to this world by their art work.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVIEW MY WORK\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t

PET PORTRAITS FUREVER<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\"Black\n\t\t

Black and White Charcoal Pet Portrait<\/h5>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

This type of portrait is rendered in black and white. Ideally, it is the least expensive and is favored for the customer that has a pet(s) that is totally black, white or a combination of both black and white. Base price starts at $150. Inquire for details.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Color\n\t\t

Color Pastel Pet Portrait<\/h5>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

This type of portrait is rendered in Rembrandt soft pastels. It is most favored by someone who desires a high quality pet portrait in color and is my most sought after medium of pet portraits. Once matted and framed it will last for generations to come!
Base price starts at $300. Inquire for details.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Oil\n\t\t

Oil Painting Pet Portrait<\/h5>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

This style of portrait is, yes, considered the premier of pet portraits. Oils yield the most vibrant colors, soft hues and values as well as texture that stands as true compliment to a portrait. As an experienced artist I have a variety of techniques from Old Master Style to other more contemporary \u201cfree flowing\u201d styles. All oil paintings are rendered on either durable canvas or masonite board.
Base price starts at $600. Inquire for details.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"Oil\n\t\t

Custom Additions<\/h5>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t

Custom Additions are available upon request. Additional charges apply.<\/p>\n

Example: <\/p>\n\u2013 A portrait with your pets favorite toy.
\n \u2013 A premier background with a wooded scene.
\n\u2013 Your pet lying beside a fire place, etc.\n\t\t\t\t\"Untitled\n\t\t\t

Frequently Asked <\/h5>

QUESTIONS:<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\tHow do I order a Pet Portrait?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\tPlease contact artist by email with a brief description of what you are interested in.
\n Example: A 12 by 14 inch in color pastel with my pet in a wooded setting, or 2 cats, etc.\n\t\t\t\t\tHow long does it normally take to rendered a Pet Portrait?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

It all depends on the choice of medium ( charcoal, pastel or oils), the number of pets, background choice and the size of the portrait.<\/p>\n

As each portrait is unique it is difficult to provide a time frame until I know exactly what a customer would like to order.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCan you draw pets from separate photos and put them together in one portrait?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes! Highly recommended!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCan you draw a full length portrait of my pet?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tHow much does a pet portrait cost?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Again, this question varies as to the size, number of pets, chosen medium, custom background, etc.<\/p>\n

Once contacted I can discuss variations that would be suitable for how much you would like to spend on your portrait. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tWhat sizes are available?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Standard sizes that I work with are:<\/p>\n\u2013 9 by 12 inch
\n\u2013 12 by 14 inch
\n\u2013 14 by 16 inch
\n\u2013 16 by 20 inch
\n\u2013 18 by 24 inch\n

Bear in mind that the cost of the portrait will vary with the number of pets, medium, and background choices.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tDo you do portraits of people?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tDo you do caricatures of pets?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Yes<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tAre matting and framing included with the portrait?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

No. I have found in the past that most customers would rather choose their own matting and framing to match the decor of where the finished portrait would be hung.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tCan you send the portrait by mail once completed?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Unfortunately no. Due to the delicacy of the portrait it is difficult to ensure \u201d safe handling\u201d by mail. Oil paintings, on the other hand, once completely dry, would be a better option and don\u2019t require a glass covering.<\/p>\n\t\t\t

I gave him the photo that I wanted and asked that the harness be removed. Norm was so easy to work with and asked what colors I wanted and what kind of background. The portrait was even better than I could have imagined. The background was perfect and my dad was thrilled!\"\" \"\"\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
