Artwork of Rita McKinney


Custom Work in Pen & Ink and Other Media

Pen & Ink informal drawings are my most popular custom work. The 5" x 7" black and white original is suitable for framing, but my customers often incorporate these into note cards, stationary or brochures. My style falls somewhere in the middle of the Realism - Impressionism spectrum. I look for the the 'personality' of the scene, whether it is a person or a building. Take a careful look at the examples below. They are very representative of my approach. Each starts with a photograph, then the pen and ink drawing, and last a suggestion of how it's used.

A good snap shot (or two) is all that I need to create your custom artwork. Below are some examples which show the orginal photographs, the drawings or paintings created from the photos, and ideas for how these were used by the customer. See the section on ordering for more details.
