FOR HIRE
Using your photo or idea I create an original impressionist
painting. Your baby, that secret place in your heart, the beach
that leaves you in awe, a sunset you can't forget; I will catch that
moment for you.

I will consider all requests of any subject matter. No job is too
small. Rates will depend on size and details.  All prices are
negotiable.

Thoughts on my work:
I have always been an Artist and have painted most of
my life, yet without a doubt I have so much to learn. The
world is full of moments and it is the artist among us
who is required to stop time for all to see. It is my
calling. I become more aware with time and my brush
strokes are changing.

My vision has been inspired by the great impressionists. I
like the world in soft focus. My Uncle once told me,
when he was a young artist, they would ask, "Does your
work have something to say?"    I'm not sure, yet...

Frank Ellis the Artist ~ a.k.a. Frankie James

I was born January 1963 in the great city of Washington DC and grew up in Southern Maryland.  My Mom, four sisters, two brothers and I all shared a       
small two bedroom house not far from the city line. It was a good world for me and I was inspired so much by the beauty of my own back yard.

Since my 1st Grade report card said so it is clear I wanted to paint. During high school I was fortunate enough to have a great instructor, Dr. Carol                  
Thompson. She sparked a fire inside me and taught me about color and light, how to ask questions, and how to wonder. She introduced me to the               
great  ones.  Monet, my favorite, is among them. He did what I want to do. His paintings are so alive you can walk right into the impressions of his world.

Always my studios have been small, usually just a corner in my bedroom. With such limited space, most often I work from my own photos. Here is nearly all       
of my collection for you to enjoy. The way I see it, I have another forty good years of painting in me.

I have just recently started to date my work with both the month and year. I will see how long this inspired streak lasts.

Watch me grow!
