Paintings
Another facet of O'Connor Designs, is the ability to create beautiful paintings from a variety of mediums. Great Lakes shipping is a favorite subject. Although many varied images have been commissioned, from historical moments to classic automobiles. The detail involved in each is painstakingly researched, special attention is given to perspective and true to life colors. Many times the question is asked if these paintings are photographs, the colors and details being so realistic. Most noticable,these paintings do not have a "washed out" look,  the colors are bold and vibrant..
Please feel free to contact Hugh with any questions or your idea.
