Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a painter from the Washington DC area. I enjoy hiking, birdwatching, and exploring coasts and woodlands. Much of my artwork is inspired by my love of the outdoors. I primarily paint in watercolor.
I offer custom watercolor paintings and illustrations, painted in a detailed and realistic style, yet unique and full of personality.
Subjects I often paint include dogs, cats, pets and animals, landscapes, birds, shells, botanicals, and still lifes.

For Portrait of Cat5.0This is my second time working with David and I was even more impressed with his work this time and I wouldn't have thought that would be possible. The first time he did a portrait of our yellow lab standing along the edge of the lake and it was perfect. But this time he did an incredible portrait of my daughter's 15 year old black cat, which she loves dearly. It is absolutely superb! He is also a pleasure to work with in every way. Thank you so much David!

For Lab Dog Custom Portrait, Watercolor, Labrador Retriever5.0I am so glad I discovered David, and so pleased with the result. He used two different photos to create a portrait of my grandchild and his dog that captures their personalities perfectly; it is like he knew them! I highly recommend David to others.

For Watercolor Paintings of the Ocean5.0David did an amazing job. I'm happy with every aspect of the project. He got the project done ahead of schedule. He nailed what I was looking for. In fact, it came out better than I was expecting. And, he was a pleasure to work with. Can't say there is any way this project could have come out better.
