~Custom Portraits
Custom portraits are done based on case by case basis and by request from clients and organizations. Most of the painting are created from photos which can be mailed (postal) or e-mail attachment jpeg file please. For more details on the process and how to order a custom portrait, please see Special Order Requirements. Note, please contact me in advance of the date for which you require your painting. Usually, I shut down taking orders for the existing year in August due to the holiday season and demand for Christmas paintings. But I would be happy to work on a Valentines or birthday painting with enough advanced notice.

These easy to read come with accompanying lesson plans to be used in grades 1-6.

"The Little Whale Who Left A Big Impression" is a true story about a stranded whale, and his life and passing as a result of old age. Perfect for children in grades 3-6. Books will be available at a discount for quantity orders for Title One schools and nonprofit organizations and wildlife centers.

Sample writings from the story: ........Nearly three-quarters of the earth's surface is covered by water. Beneath the rhythmic surface currents and rolling shadows atop the hissing seas is a world where coral reefs, swaying vegetation and a swirling universe of luminous fish create a landscape that is uniquely beautiful. Slower moving sea creatures such as clams and sea snails, crabs, sea sponges, sea stars, anemone, and urchins, add moving, vivid color to the scenery. Squid, sharks, barracudas, moray eels, gulf flounder and other fish dash and dart about as if they have some place important to go. Sea turtles, some as old as 100 years carry their homes with them. Sea mammals - dolphins, whales, manatee, and porpoises - glide through the water, at times frolicking to the sounds of clicks, creaks and murmurs.

Far from the shoreline, you might also refer to as the "beach", in the salt waters of the Gulf of Mexico, is my home. I spend much of my time at the seaward edge of the continental shelf where the ocean floor drops sharply to an immeasurably great depth. The beauty here is like no other…..for my species relaxes in dark blues, shades of mist greens and burnt umber swirling and twirling with the ebb and flow of the currents.

I am one of an elusive species, the Dwarf Sperm Whale........

..........To my knowledge, human eyes have never beheld my dark steel gray, robust body. . .not until today. On June 2, 2002, I became stranded alone on a beach in Naples, Florida.
