FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I'm the tall guy you see standing at an easel all around the horse shows painting the scenes in front of me! I create these oil paintings on site at many horse shows and they  have struck a chord with my collectors. People seem to like to watch me create a scene or love the idea of watching "their" painting develop as they look on. These oils are very popular as one of a kind gifts!
Even if I paint the same scene twice, it is never the same!
