"Preserving Your Memories, Past and Present"
Let me also help you preserve the memories of your favorite places through oil painting reproductions of your most special landscape themed photographs...
Homes, Churches, Businesses, City/State Buildings and Landmarks, Lake Houses, Beach Houses, Hunting Cabins, Hunting Scenes (deer, turkey, dove, pheasant, etc.), Farms/Farmhouses/Barns and according scenes, Childhood Homes, "Grandma's House", a Family Reunion Spot, "Old Time" General Stores/Storefronts/Rural Markets and according scenes, A Golf Course Scene, a Backyard Garden Scene, Etc.
While Photograph Re-Creations is the name of this service, exactly what I "re-create" is completely up to the customer. In other words, your finished painting can look exactly like your photograph, or you're more than welcome to make all the adjustments you like. You aren't limited to the options listed below by any means, they're just there to get YOUR ideas flowing...
Turn a black & white photograph into a vibrant colored oil painting.
You can pick the time of year/day your photo will be painted in.
I can "green things up a bit" for spring and summer, or paint it in those beautiful hues of Autumn.
Big puffy white clouds, menacing storms, beautiful sunsets, or "not a cloud in the sky", it's completely up to you.
Add or alter any wildlife, domesticated animals, etc.
Change the shape, growth, or color of any foliage/flowers/grasses to best suit your tastes.
Go back in time!
For example, say you have a recent photo of a location, but time has taken it's toll on the scene. It's not quite how you remembered it as a child, so to speak. I can get together with you, ask some questions, then do some sketches and preliminary compositions. You will soon see that you can literally renovate a building, clear some land, or plant 300 trees right there on the canvas.
Just remember each painting starts on a solid white, blank canvas. There are no rules except the ones we make as your painting progresses.
"If you can see it, I can re-create it on canvas..."
"Being able to offer this service along with my original works has been a huge blessing to me. It's impossible to convey through words alone, but it's a great feeling. The emotion on someone's face when they receive their finished painting, especially those concerning their childhood or a loved one, is just one of those wonderful human experiences..."
