The hand-painted PhotoArt prints are unique, original fine art works.

I create them by starting with one of my own fine art landscape images. I then hand-paint them, often using many different layers and incorporating thousands of brush strokes and many hours of work.

I do not rely solely on Photoshop "applications" as other photographers do when they press a single button and transform a picture into an oil painting or watercolor.

Each image is manually brushed and is unique to the extent it can never be exactly duplicated again.

Prints are usually printed on a museum-quality fine art matte photo paper (normally 100% cotton rag) that is very similar to watercolor paper.

When matted, framed, and hung on your wall, they do not look like traditional photographs. They look like what they are: original and unique hand-painted works of art.

The PhotoArt styles are varied. Some may look similar to a watercolor, some to an oil painting, and others a unique style of their own.

Unfortunately, at the small sizes images are displayed on the web, the subtleties of the intricate brush strokes cannot be easily seen. On a full size print, they can be.
