I work one day a week at the Trailor Park behind the desk, and I began to really see al 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.

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.

Paintings priced at
16" X 20" $100 plus shipping and tax
11"X X 14' $50 plus shipping and tax
marker pen gestures are 11" X14" $20 plus shipping and tax

all portraits are matted in black with a foam core backing and inclosed in a archival clear folder

This year I am creating my Three Minute Portrait in marker pen for the Birch Bay Discovery Days Festival. In some ways a Three Minute Portrait is more of a challenge than one that can be worked . My idea is to further develop my spontaneity, which I consider to be a very important aspect of my work. I may also create The Three Minute portrait at other venues this year, but I will see how it goes at the Birch Bay Festival.
