“Through the portal I shall fly

From heaven’s realm to be by your side

My spirit’s light was never dimmed.

We can always choose to begin again.

In magic landscapes, I run free

Connected by love and eternity.

A wisdom vast I readily share

When you are ready to journey there.

THE STORY BEHIND THE ART
The concepts for Fred’s portrait evolved from Sue’s life events and the visions she had of him after he crossed over. She told me she had seen him running free in a canyon. When she later went to visit her dear friend Bonnie at her new ranch in Gateway, Colorado, she realized it was Bonnie’s land she had seen in her vision. During this time, Bonnie sent me some photos of her land to contribute to Fred’s project. But then sadly, Bonnie suddenly passed away. Her death was a great loss for so many who loved her.

As I prepared to compose his portrait, I meditated with Fred’s spirit asking how he would like to be depicted and I received images of him as if through a portal, and also a vision of him on Bonnie’s land. Then I happened upon the photos Bonnie had sent, and I found this one intriguing photo that she had titled “The Portal”. When I contacted Sue to let her know of my inspiration to depict Fred there she was amazed, because the very next day she was going to a ceremony to spread Bonnie’s ashes at that very place. She felt it was a sign. The portrait is a tangible reminder for Sue of Fred’s powerful healing presence both during his life and in spirit, and it also connects her with her beloved friend Bonnie through the beautiful land that she so loved.

PLEASE NOTE: International Print Shipments:

Free Shipping is only offered on Domestic USA shipments and doesn't apply to Canadian and International Shipping. With the variety of products we offer, it is impossible to accurately predict Shipping charges to different countries. Shipping costs for prints are calculated AFTER checkout based on package weight and distance. Customers will receive an invoice to cover any additional costs. Please note that we are only charging the amount to ship, which exceeds what we are offering as free packaging and shipping. Tracking is also sometimes unreliable but our packages have always landed safely. Border fees, duties, and handling fees might apply.

When ordering prints: I have my art custom-scanned with the highest resolution possible to capture every stroke and texture of the original pastel. For most of my prints, my publisher, American Moulding, offers a variety of options shown below. I also offer Custom Prints which are made locally and hand-signed and shipped from my studio.

Paper Prints and Matted Prints are printed on substantial 180g Archival Matte paper. They are wrapped in clear protective packaging in a flat mailer.

Regarding Matted Prints: The size of the matted print indicates the outside edge of the mat dimensions. An 11" x 14" matted print fits in a frame with an 11" x 14" opening. Depending upon the artwork dimensions, mats are approx 1 1/2" - 2" wide

Premium Fine Art Prints are printed on luscious 310g Sunset Textured Watercolor paper. They are shipped rolled in a sturdy tube. This allows the larger size to ship economically and damage-free.

Canvas Prints are finished with a mirror image of the art around the edge and mounted on 1.5” inch stretcher bars. They include a wire for hanging and are shipped in a sturdy cardboard crate

Please Note: Some of my artwork is different in ratio than standardized sizes. They work best with custom framing by your local frame shop. For more affordable framing, consider the Matted Prints which allow any size of art to become a standard-sized dimension to allow ease of selecting a store-bought frame.
