Artist Note:
I have been drawing for most of my life of 49 years. Having taught art classes from elementary to college level, I have become aware of the special gift my creator has given me. I hope that you have enjoyed viewing my drawings and I look forward to sharing your stories and comments. Prints are hand signed and numbered by the artist. All of the prints available are in black and white, and are produced on acid free paper. No computerized imagery is used to produce the drawings. The average amount of drawing time spent on each picture is forty hours. The average amount of research time spent on each picture is forty hours also. This adds up to an average time of eighty-hours per drawing. Since I charge $25.00 per hour this would bring the final cost of the original drawings to $2,000.00 each. I have created these drawings to help preserve some history along with wonderful memories of days gone past. That is why I am making the prints available to the public at such a low cost.
I can do custom pencil drawings from your photographs too! All photographs need to be clear to work from. I specialize in house and business portraits, but also do portraits of people and pets. The art of collage can be used to mix your family portraits with structures from your family's past, such as; old farm houses, barns, town houses, lake houses, etc.. I also do caricatures of people and pets. Prices may vary for artwork but $25.00 per hour is the average rate.
All prints available are copyrighted and registered with the US Library of Congress.
