Portrait Paintings
Click picture for enlargement and details. View All Portrait Paintings
These portraits are based on family, friends, a variety of people I have met locally and abroad, and popular culture.
Many are created using oil or acrylic paint, pastel, ink, and pencil.
Bold colors portray the vitality and character of the subjects and reflect my expressionist education.
