PROCEDURE

Portraits can be painted from your favorite photographs, or a combination of photos, such as hairstyle from one and clothes from another, etc.

Please allow 2 months for pastels or watercolors – 3-4 months for oils, depending on subject matter.

Photo sessions are also available — the subject will pose with clothing of their choice, and photos will allow their choice of expression, pose, etc.

Finished art can be mailed to your location.

IDEAS

A husband surprised his wife with a pastel portrait painted from one of her childhood photos.  He got the idea in a movie he saw — and gifted her with this on Valentine’s Day — to hang over the piano in their great room.

Another man commissioned a watercolor from one of their wedding photos and surprised his wife on their 25th anniversary.

Corporations honor their top people annually and present them with their portrait at conventions or events.

Special travel moments make great paintings.

Children’s portraits become heirlooms for the family.

Loved ones who have passed away seem near again with a nearly life-sized head/shoulders portrait.
