I started this painting about a year  ago and  finally  had a bit of  time to  finish it.  This oil painting is  24″ by 36″ and  was so much work!! You can see a larger  version of this  on my website, or in  life  at the Bernardsville juried  show will the end of  this month.

I found some  older work  that I  forgot to put on  my site  a while ago.  The  lab  pup is  a project for the homeland  security  dog  program. Still in the works on that   project!  The other  is a profile  of  a  Spaniel.

Getting closer to the holidays!  This client  called a week or  so prior explaining that  her  daughter’s  horse   had unfortunately  passed.  She  wanted to get a  portrait  of  it  for  her  for the holidays. This was  a larger  piece,  24″  by 30″, in oil. I enjoyed  making the foreground  a bit more textural and allowing the background  to  feel  a bit more unfocused and  set  back with soft edges. A lot of  the   pictures the client  had  given me were set in a  fenced in pastural scene. I   chose not to put the fence in, allowing  more of a ‘free’ feeling, suitable for  this  situation. The title of this piece was inspired by the pose of the   horse . It gives a subtle feeling of   walking away yet  turning back to  say ”Remember  Me Forever.”

This was a fun commission.  When I visited the client,  the  dog was  so shy!  I have never  experienced that before. Initially the  client wanted more of a  formal looking portrait, however  during the photo shoot  I was able to  catch some  really cute  reference pics of  Titus,  american  bulldog, in between the more formal  shots.  I thought  it would make a  great  composition, and the story it tells  in  his expression was  priceless.  I title this  piece “Sorry I ate your shoe” due to the fact that the   day prior   his owner mentioned he  had eaten a very expensive pair of her shoes!

    Hi Andrea,

    Lovely site(s). I came across your post in the forum at a singular creation. Great job here, it show the wide variety of talents and experience. It is easy to look at. It is always important to me to see an easy to navigate website and with eye pleasing layouts. I am a graphic designer and hate when you see a very talented artist push possible commissions/work away with a bad website. It just pains me….. but I believe you will not have this problem.
    Write me anytime, thanks for letting us view your site.

    Hi Andrea!
    The painting looks so beautiful! I can’t wait to see it “in person”. I wanted to take a moment to thank you, it has been a pleasure to work with you. I am hoping that if we are able to make motorcylce trip east this year if we get anywhere close to you that we may stop in to say “hello” in person. Thanks again! Happy Holidays from all of us here in Chicago!

    Hi Andrea
    I am thinking about taking your drawing class at the Somerset Art Association. I have been painting and drawing for the past nine years. I have a fascination with fairies and noticed that you have painted them as well. BTW, you work is lovely. My style as a water colorist is quite loose and wondering if we would be a good match in terms of your teaching. Also, do you do any fairy art work in your classes
    Thanks so much
