DESIGN YOUR PERFECT PIECE...
DESIGN YOUR PERFECT PIECE...
Living on beautiful St Simons Island, I love sharing
its  magic with the viewers of my paintings.  Each
person has a unique experience of this place...
certain sights, vistas and elements.  It would be my
joy to paint something for you that best respresents
your personal experience - that 'just right' piece that
fills not only a special place in your home, but more
importantly, fills that certain space in your heart.

Below is an example of how I worked with a client to
create a painting that mirrored her feelings about
St Simons Island.

The client loved this scene, as
it reminded her of the summer
days she used to spend with
her children when they were
small.  However, as the
painting would be the first
thing she saw every morning,
she preferred to have a
brighter start to her day.  Also,
she needed the painting to be
larger than the original
16 x 20 I had painted.  And
finally, she wanted to include
the sunny yellow flowers and
cattails that often grow beside
the marsh.

On my computer, we browsed
through my collection*
of over 2000 images of
St Simons Island, and settled
on this day-break photo as our
starting point.  Whitening the
clouds and making the sky
above them blue, completed
her quest for the perfect summer
morning.
The second photo includes the
yellow flowers she loves.

This is our final result - the
original scene, minus the
cloudy day, large enough at
30" x  40" to fill the space
nicely, and also including the
yellow flowers & cattails she so
fondly remembers.  It is now
hanging in a place of
prominence where she
enjoys it every day.
