16 x 20 oil on canvas
Welcome to my portrait site. My name is Skip. I am a house painter by trade, but I also like to do artwork, portraits, oil paintings, and pencil sketches. For portraits, I follow the traditional method of drawing my subjects on canvas and then adding layers of paint, but since the advent of computer technology, I now use photos sent to me as attachments as my guide.
Pets and kids are my favorite subjects. I've painted a lot of them as gifts for my family and friends, and also worked on commission. At the links below, you can find sample portraits, including adults, and portraits with more than one subject. If you would like to have a portrait done, I can be reached by e-mail, or by filling out the Contact Form. I hope you enjoy the site, and come back soon. I would appreciate your feedback.
