How do I paint and what mediums do you use?
I paint using Michael Harding and Gamblin brand oil and QOR by Golden watercolor paints. How I paint depends on the subject, but I usually am somewhere between impressionistic and realistic styles.
I use Rosemary brushes from the UK, some of the highest quality and most reasonably priced brushes I’ve found.
Is there a place I can go to see your art for sale?
“I asked Adam to do an oil painting of our little local library, and the painting is magical. He captured the spirit of the the library, a warm inviting refuge on a snowy day. I then asked him to do a painting of my house, which is perfect.”
There is, this link is a good place to start to see my available works for sale.
Do you ship them? How much is shipping?
I do ship my art, I ship to most countries. Each piece has a different size and will cost a different amount to ship. Most smaller paintings I ship through USPS, larger ones are handled by UPS. If you live outside of The United States contact me for a shipping quote.
Are they ready to hang on the wall?
I can have a frame installed, which includes installing the wire for hanging so you can take it out of the box and put it on the wall.
I’m not sure how this will look in my home.
If you are relatively local to Boston I’m happy to come to your home with the painting to see how it will match your decor. Also if you send me a photo of your wall space I can arrange the artwork using software so you can see how it would look.
I love your art and want one in my house but it’s a little out of my price range. Do you do payment plans?
I understand and do offer payment plans. They are from 2 to 4 months and I will ship the painting when the last payment has been made.
Do you offer teaching or classes for art?
I do teach, both in groups and one on one. Check here for a current list of classes and workshops I am offering.
I’d love to have a painting of my daughter (or son, dog, house, horse, etc), do you do commission work?
I do paint commission paintings, the time of completion can be from three to five weeks and will ship when dry. Please note I will not be able to accept all commissions. A 50% initial deposit is required and the remaining amount due on completion. I do payment plans for these as well.
Who are your influences?
There are many. Rembrandt of course. Monet and Sargent are both strong influences. Living artists include Wendy Artin, who’s watercolors are pure inspiration. Kathleen Speranza who creates the most luminous, delicate dream-like roses I’ve seen. Charlie Hunter is a master of composition and etherealness in his art. Mark Boedges creates landscapes that really invite you in and stay a while. And of course the recently passed Richard Schmid, who’s book and stunning oil paintings have inspired so many, myself included.
