Portraits and Figures Gallery

Portraits and Figures

The paintings below include portraits and figures in pastel, colored pencil, pencil and oil. As with my pet portraits, my goal with a portrait is to capture the spirit of a person, not just their likeness. I guarantee a clients satisfaction with my portraits just as I do with my pet portraits and no deposit is required. 

Much of the figurative artwork reflects my love of drawing and painting horses as many were inspired by the thoroughbreds at Saratoga. Many of the figurative paintings are available for purchase.
