prints (which can look much like the original when printed on canvas)
so that each family member can have a copy. They intend for the painting
to become an evocative piece of family history to be passed from generation
to generation. In addition to painting my own landscapes, I love creating
works that have personal meaning for the viewer. I am always glad to do
commissions from photos of places that are special to my clients—whether
their current house, the field in which they were married, the family
farm, or another scene they wish to capture and enjoy. The beauty of painting
in oil is that is a very durable medium. Oil paints do not fade, they
are hard to damage if treated with care, and they hold up to the test
of time, so they can become valuable family heirlooms capturing a place
in time for future generations. I am glad to consider your special request
if you envision a scene and painting size that will work especially well
in your home. Perhaps you would like one of my landscapes in a smaller
or larger size; or you envision an enormous landscape painting that will
bring the outdoors inside. One client commissioned a large sky with sun-lit
clouds that brought back memories of a favorite sunset. Many Iowa corporations
and organizations purchase my paintings for lobbies, offices, meeting
rooms, and other public areas. Such paintings not only bring beauty to
a place, but also show off the loveliness of our native Iowa landscape.
