Keegan & Chester – 16″ x 20″
Keegan's mom approached me with the idea to have a painting of her son and their dog, Chester together, as a Christmas gift for her son.

Rachel & Chester – 16” x 20”
Rachel’s mom tells me she is a fun and friendly, happy-go-lucky free-spirited young lady who adores her dog, Chester. I think this quote, sums up the theme of this painting: “Whoever said diamonds are a girl's best friend, never owned a dog.” TESTIMONIAL: “I'm crying... How very special.”

Diane came to me with an old photograph of her grandparents place in St-Pierre-de-Wakefield, Quebec.

The subject matter is so mystical, and [...]
The Happy Monkey – 16″x16″
While snorkeling, Chev experiences a face-to-face encounter with this gentle giant...The other lovely lady in the boat is so engrossed in her book, she doesn't even notice...only their 2 puppies take note of this once in a lifetime experience! Enjoy! "OH MY F#$%ING GOD....There are no words! I love it, I just f@#$ing love [...]
Movie Night – 16″x20″ Silent Auction Donation
I was asked to donate a painting for my hometown's Lion's Club Event for the Silent Auction table...What could be better than a painting depicting a local landmark or building?...Here you can see the Paramount Theatre neon sign and further along the old Queen's Hotel can be seen on the corner...It's gone now...time changes everything.
Funky Sunflowers – 10″x10″ Commissioned Piece
Want one? I have painted many funky sunflowers...It always makes me happy! This one was commissioned by a guy wanting to get his wife a unique one-of-a-kind birthday gift. She loved it! (Good job, Steve! Brownie points)
