Green Acres


Acrylic on Canvas- 18x24"

This painting was finished in October 2010 for a friend of mine from college. She had sent me several photographs of her farm and asked that I compile them all into one painting. This was fun for me because I could use my imagination as far as deciding where to put the horses and cows, and creating the look of the land. I had a great time making this for her and I sincerely hope she enjoys it in her home for many years to come.

Chili Challenge Auction Piece



This portrait was completed in October 2010. My services were auctioned off at the Limestone Co. Chili Challenge last February, and this little girl in the photograph is the daughter of the lady who won the bidding.
I can definitely tell that my talents are improving. I took my time drawing this portrait and I spread it out over several sittings. I noticed that each time I sat back down to work on it, I noticed a mistake I had previously missed. Practice makes perfect!

Woods Family Portrait

This portrait was completed in September 2010 for a one of my mother's friends, Ms. Carpenter. She asked that I draw her parents and siblings from some childhood photographs that she had.

This project was a challenge for me because I'm not used to drawing smaller portraits. However, I'm excited about this piece and I'm glad I was blessed with this opportunity.

Whit & Ellen Brewer


This portrait was completed in Spring of 2010 for a teacher that I work with. These are her children, Whit and Ellen.
