"YESHUA RABBONI"
| When we decided to
remodel our church Sanctuary last year, I made up my mind to repaint
my nearly-life-size portrait of Jesus that had been so prominently
displayed there. The old one was done with lots of purples and
mauves ... But it also made Jesus look like a Hollywood movie star.
So I determined that this one would portray Jesus as Jewish
and wearing a tallit, or prayer shawl, since He was called
rabbi during his last 3 1/2 years on earth.

"HOKEY POKEY" A 1985 Vanagon Westfalia Camper by Volkswagon painted for Dean and Kathy Williams They stopped making these in 1991 and, while not entirely vintage, are highly sought after with an extremely loyal following. The scene here is from a state park in Maryland called Big Run , which is a campground in the New Germany State Forest. |

"Patty Moore"
My Friend and Long-time Art Student
Patty Moore's sisters planned a surprise party for her on the occasion of her 60th birthday in May 2007. Because Patty has done multiple portraits of her siblings in my Monday Night Class over the years, they thought it only appropriate that her teacher (me) should do a portrait of her as a little girl!
This was one of the easiest paintings I have ever done. Knowing Patty as well as I do - she's been coming out here for over 20 years now - it was no struggle to get her likeness. Wish every portrait were this easy!
THE GRIZZLY BEAR DOOR
I painted this on my husband's office door, here at the house. He is an avid lover of big game animals so I did this as a surprise for him recently.
There is a cute story to go with it: I waited for David to leave for downtown before taking the door off its hinges and bringing it into my studio to paint. He came home early, though, but went back to his office and proceeded to sit at the computer. Sometime later, when I went back to ask him what he wanted for lunch, he casually asked me, "By the way, what happened to my door?" Aside from the fact the hinge pins were lying on the floor, he didn't think enough about it to come and find out where it had gone!
This is an acrylic painting. (Notice the doorknob on the left.)
I also have a smaller version ... Oil on canvas.

"GIANT RECREATION WORLD" This Melbourne, FL dealership sells Coachmen products, so I was able to include one of their older model motor homes along with the owner's classic '57 Corvette. I added a 1952 winged Shasta and 1957 Comet travel trailer to make the scene look more vintage. 24 x 30 - Casein on illustration board |
"The Camp-Out"
Commissioned by Terry Bone for his wife's birthday.

Baptistry Painting for Pleasant Hill Baptist Church
Wills Point, Texas
Julie Lyons (standing with the painting) asked me to paint this stained glass window for the baptistry of their new sanctuary. It measures 5 1/2 feet wide by 8 feet tall! I built the stretcher bars myself and enlisted my dear husband when it came time to stretch the canvas. I opted to paint it in acrylics in the comfort of our Fellowship Hall rather than trying to do it on the wall of their church. I believe at 62 I am a tad too old to be hanging off a ladder while trying to paint.

SKY RIVER RV 2525 Theatre Drive Paso Robles, CA 93446 Some of the employees at SKY RIVER RV got together and commissioned this painting for their boss for Christmas. I chose casein on illustration board because it is so wonderful to photograph if the painting has to do double-duty as wall art and advertising art. "Paige... It looks great! Thank you very much. You did such a wonderful job with it. I love the way you were able to get all the elements into it, from the Airstreams to the Motorhomes to the Service department to the sign...it is wonderful! I can't wait for Bill to see it. I think it will mean a lot to him to receive such a thoughtful gift. Thank you Paige!" (E-mail received from Kellee Rasor - Sky River RV) |

"She LOVED it! Cried her
eyes out! Thank you so much for doing this for us. Please let me know when you
