I paint landscapes, florals, still lifes, abstracts and whatever subject matter that interests me. Most of my landscapes and florals are from photos I've taken of places I've been and flowers that have caught my eye. I prefer not to paint contrived still lifes, but ones that I come across naturally. My style is realistic but I also like to occasionally paint in a looser style, especially when I do work that is more abstract. I work mostly in watercolors but also in colored pencil and acrylics. I also occasionally work in charcoal, oil pastels and pencil too, and I'm now starting to experiment with water mixable oils. The medium I use depends on what I think would best depict the particular subject matter. I'm also happy to do commissioned portraits from photographs of people and pets, or whatever subject someone might be interested in, as long as the quality of the photograph is good, I can paint most anything. The medium I work in when doing portraits is watercolor, colored pencil or pencil. On this website, I have a few examples of the cartoon illustrations that I've done, which I would also be happy to do on a commissioned basis. If you see something you like that is posted as "Sold", it is most likely available as a print, contact me about prices. If you have comments or questions about any of my art or would like to discuss having a portrait done from a photograph or a cartoon illustration, please email me at ricktuthill1@verizon.net or call me: 425-348-4397. Thank You
