Oil Painting on Canvas
Oil Painting on Canvas
This was created for Scott Phelan of his beloved Arabian Stallion "Kokopelli".
No glass is used when framing works on canvas, however, a protective varnish is applied. The size of the canvas is the full image size, ready to frame upon receipt.
PASTEL ON SUEDEBOARD
Soft pastels on a suede-textured acid free board are used to create these portraits. These are matted, ready to frame in a standard size frame under glass.

This example of an American Saddlebred mare was created for Charlotte Gregory.
