This hound is part of a commission that I completed for a pet food company. The models were supplied by the company.

Phillip Court Commission
This portrait of an industrialist shows him in one of his factories. His wife insisted that because his management style was hands-on, this “in the shop” approach was more appropriate than an office portrait.
It was also a requirement that I include the parts shown on the display board at the left along with a special style of yellow storage boxes.

Community Service
The theme, community service, is found at least four times in this “parade” theme. Motorcycle police with “want-to-be police”, seniors lending their interest to policing and to youth, fire fighters serving the community and supporting Muscular Dystrophy, and friendly clowns, all add up to a “beautiful” parade.

Made to Measure
This painting was partially created in a meeting for a financial management company to demonstrate the idea of the custom approach of their business.

Carr-Gordon Farm
This rural property was totally refurbished by the couple shown in the driveway. Their labour of love took many years and this painting marked the finished project. Only two years later they sold the property but took the painting with them as a portable piece of their farm.

I was approached by the founder of this high speed imaging company to paint something that would encapsulate the many areas of his company. This multi-image piece shows not only the products, the process, the people, but also the founder. For other multiple image pieces, see Spirits of Canada, Image #1106, also A Partnership (R.C.M.P.), Image #1462.
