Buildings + Facades Collection
The majority of the house facades were commissioned by people who wanted paintings of their homes. Either because they were moving or just to memorialize a place they love.

City + Village Collection
Village and city views are among some of my favorite paintings. I love when I am commissioned to paint particular views of towns or view of cities.
