Since spring of 2019 I began painting with oils with the goal of
working en plein air. Creating these paintings took lots of practice and experimentation in the studio from photos, still
lives and sometimes venturing outside. I now have a body of work to
display as a collection of my efforts. The journey has led me to
painting pets, animals and even a few self portraits, plus nature and
local and regional landscapes. I hope you enjoy and I'm always happy to
answer any questions about purchases or commissions.
You can reach me
at cshoreartwork@gmail.com.
I add to my blog site as I create new
works and then up date collections for easier viewing. You may select
"FOLLOW" on the blog and receive emails as I post new work.

Pet Portraits
Always
a pleasure to capture the memories of peoples pets. Commissions
accepted, portraits are from customer photos done in my studio.
If you're interested in commissioning a pet portrait. Here are the details.
Pet
Portrait pricing starts at $50 for a 5x7 (unframed)-small but ok for head shots, $75 for an 8x10 (unframed)- great for a
single pet. $115 for an 11x14 (unframed). For each additional pet in the
portrait add another $25. Shipping is extra (if needed) and generally
runs, $8-$20 dollars in the U.S. depending on the location. These are
common sizes allowing you to purchase ready made frames. Keep in mind no
glass or matting needed for an oil painting.
Please
allow 4-8 weeks to complete.
The
process includes the time to confer back and forth plus the time to
dry. I work from your photograph, keep in mind photos that show a clear
face and eyes, plus represent the colors of fur make for a better
portrait. Exotic pets are also welcome. Contact me at

People & Gatherings
It
became a challenge to paint people when we began the isolation of the
pandemic. I missed gatherings and enjoyed reminiscing by painting past
events, longing for those days to return. From friends to family who are
sometimes my unsuspecting models.
