I work one day a week at the Trailor Park behind the desk, and I began to really see all the interesting people that visit or work or live in this Park (it is now a Resort). I have painted their portraits and wrote some of their story using a calendar format to make these ' other side of the desk ' people, calendar pinups. This is the TRAILOR PARK TABLOID Some of the portraits you are seeing here are from the Tabloid.

This is a 3 piece series about mental illness.3 different portraits of a friend on 3 different perscription drugs. I will try to get these paintings online soon.. I learned alot about mental illnes especially bi polar issues from painting these. I think a wonderful benefit from painting is the ability to learn from the brush...

The next series will be called Scraps. I hope to start this in a few weeks.

Portraits may be painted on rice paper in ink or with some colour if desired. You may sit for a portrait. The time you will be sitting is from 1/2 to 2 hours. The lesser time, of course, for a smaller painting.
You may also have your portrait painted from a photo. At least 2 good quality photos will be helpful to understand you better.
Occasionally I will draw portraits with marker pen. These are gestures. Let me know if you are interested in that.

Portraits may also be painted on watercolour paper with watercolour and acrillic. These paintings are more realistic. I paint from a good photo with these as you may not want to sit for the hours it will take to paint these.
