I frequently get asked to create a painting by combining two separate pictures. Painting digitally makes the process not that difficult. Here is an example of a commission I did for a customer who had an old photo of a beloved antique car. He also loved my painting of the Highland Lighthouse that is located in North Truro, Mass. He was very excited to hang this as he no longer had the car. I am always trying to create new paintings that appeal to my clients.

Here is an update on the contest I entered two weeks ago.  Due to lack of planning and space, 33 paintings were cut, mine included. I will have the opportunity to show in a quickly thrown together show for all the “orphaned” paintings. Iam reallylooking forward to this event.  Major bad feelings from the rejected artists as they were all told that they paintings would be in the show the night of the award giving.  So much work and money was spent by all artists.

I have been busy with the holidays and am finally getting around to checking out my blog.  No excuses. I am here now and still really like that song that I have playing. Makes me think of the Cape a lot.

The election of our new president has everyone running to the printing press and I am no exception.  Here is my recent Pop rendition of Obama.  I am hoping to sell a copy or two but who knows.  There are a lot of posters out there already.  Contact me if you would like one for yourself. They sell for $100 for the linen and $130  for the gallery wrapped canvas 16×20.

You can see it better at my other web site over at Fine Art America.
