Here you will find examples of my intriguing collaborative concept, The Nearabout Portraits!

Less formal & smaller than The People Portraits so I need fewer photos ~ often one will do as you will see.

Collaborative creating with you is a particular joy for me, and my Clients agree ~ We can make Magic together!

Pricing will vary depending on the complexity of design, but will generally be less than the People Portraits ~ between $150 and $350.


Frog Dude with Pipe Incense Burner

Sometimes, the objective of a collaborative design is not to interpret a Pet or Person, but rather a Concept! Perhaps some of you will recognize the sweater that "The Big Lebowski Frog Dude" is wearing? My Clever Client asked me to create this ~ ummm, Pet Portrait/Nearabout Portrait with a particular friend in mind! One of the details requested was an incense burning pipe as well as a comfy Lilly Pad. Perfect choice for existential musings, says I!

The Mad Trombone Man The Mad Trombone Man is a fyne example of the Magic that you & I can create together. When visiting DFS at a Fyne Art Show, my Client saw the "Mad Musicians" on display & when he realised by my signage, that I will create the piece that you envision, decided that this would make the perfect gift for his son!

We spoke, & after the show, he emailed the pics & design ideas to me. With a suggestion or 2 from me & after his approval, I began my process. The gracious Thank You note my Client sent certainly brightened this Artist's day!
