Me and My Shadow

She's my Shadow.... and my “shadow” side.
Shadow teaches me what I need
to learn about myself that I can't always see.
Sometimes I see my fear, frustration or impatience...
On other days I see the Love and Perfection in everything!
My relationship with her is a reflection
of my relationship with myself and my world.
She is an awesome gift of Light, Awareness & Joy!
my horse... my best friend... Shadow is....
~ AnneMarie Lewis

I just finished painting Me and My Shadow a 30 x 40 Oil and Resin on Panel, commissioned for AnneMarie Lewis as a gift to her family and herself. My intention was to capture the emotional bond between her and Shadow, as well as show the beauty and wisdom AnneMarie possesses. The bond between her and Shadow is so insightful, and a painting that reflects it will be a poignant and enduring testament.

As the “Me and My Shadow” painting suggests, my focus of late has been on portraiture. January has proven a busy month for me, as February is proving to be as well. I recently was commissioned to produce a series of portraits, and will fill you in at a later date about this exciting venture.

Should you be considering the commissioning of a portrait of a family member, business colleague, a beloved pet – or even yourself – I'd welcome hearing from you. I offer a range of options, from a charcoal sketch to a refined oil painting.
