Featured Art Having toured countless church and historical sites, I have accustomed myself to overhearing the inevitable exclamation of viewers who marvel at the craftsmanship and methodical excellence of bygone era arts. Typically one might begin by saying something like “they don’t make these like they used to” implying some lost quality. The laments are understandable and often true.
I too admire the value of refined historical artworks, but I also have the skills to recreate some of these classics, in paint, for a new and future generation.
As you see here, I have photographed and then completed the tedious part of rendering a line cartoon as it is called. Next will be the beautiful painting part.

Annunciation Conceived in a time of high faith, the timeless beauty of 19th and early 20th-century religious, stained glass windows are appreciated for their overall excellence. Only recently one particular window truly captured my attention. It is part of an monumental Marian visual narration of ten windows based on the life of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
 monumental scenes
Converted to Paint First in a series, Annunciation was completed on a 1/8" ultra smooth, hardwood panel of "16x36" using the vibrant, rich and time-tested egg tempera paint technique and most suitable for framing. When translating stained glass art into precision paint art, all of the lead lines and window dividers need to be "erased".
Look for more prayerful paintings of this quality & kind in the future. I am able to recreate all window images that are public domain. For a more contemporary selection, please refer to the original artist or commission me to design a new art.

Samples of Some Past Works including paint sketches
Many of my paintings are completed using the egg tempera technique. This is where powder pigment is mixed with an egg binding agent. I find it to be sumptuous and so I most often employ it, but not exclusively. Synthetic binders blended with pigments and other materials work splendidly for certain types of presentations. In this case, the paint medium comes premixed or is custom mixed by myself using a professional quality, acid-free, synthetic binder like acrylic. Additionally, jewel-like, illuminated manuscripts of any kind and using traditional methods, can be completed on authentic calfskin vellum, museum grade papers, Bristol or whatever the client requires.
