"The artist does not draw what he see, but what he must make others see." Edgar Degas
I'm very fortunate to have the ability to travel frequently and to have family spread over several countries. I often find myself so inspired by the mood of a place, the visual beauty of the local colors, natural designs made by the shape of mountains or fields, that I will take a break from my usual subject matter of people to dwell in the landscape a little longer. Some of these are painted on location, others in the studio. I'd be happy to paint a commission from one of your own photos. It's a great way to remember a vacation or location with a special meaning. These make very personal, treasured gifts.
