Custom Boat Portraits!

I've been adding some new artwork to my website lately - and wanted to include a new page for custom portraits. Now I've always been available for this kind of work, but thought it would be best to get a full page up there to show some samples, as well as a page for pricing and instructions. After all, I wouldn't like to buy something unless I knew what I was getting into. The first series of portraits up is for boat enthusiasts.

Bella Lisa  12"x9" acrylic on panel

Since my husband and I have a boat (26' Wellcraft with sleeper cabin) and it's still boating season, we've been down to the Warwick area quite a bit lately to enjoy the ocean. I love the area, and this particular marina is quiet, with a little beach to walk around when not on the boat. I have quite a few photos that I will be developing into paintings from my explorations there.

I also created a few new boat portraits to show some samples of my work. If you are reading this and you are a boat owner who must sadly pull your boat out for the winter, it's a nice way to keep her in mind during the colder months. If you know a boat owner, this makes a nice gift for the holidays, birthdays, etc. If you sell boats, it's a nice idea for a thank-you gift to your customers. I'll be making the paintings in acrylic and in pastel over watercolor.
