Dan Budde

Discovering that buildings were one of his favorite subjects to paint, and that some money earned from his art work other than the occasional art show might come in handy, Dan Started knocking on doors for commissions, painting homes and various buildings. This worked out and to date hundreds of commissioned paintings of buildings and other subjects have been completed. Since starting a website many other subjects are commissioned and it's always an adventure for Dan to find out
what the next request for a painting will be.
