For me, one of the most
rewarding elements of painting has been the pursuit of my
realistic portraiture. I am often commissioned to paint
portraits of people, their families, and their pets. I have
painted couples —and even animals — as king and
queen; sometimes people have very specific cities or backgrounds
that they want to be represented behind them.
When possible, I like to
paint portraits from life, with my subjects doing sittings
in my studio (although most dogs and cats can't be convinced
to sit still for hours while I paint them). I work from
photograghs as well, which I take during the sitting. My
portraits are all painted in oil on wood or canvas; prices
start at $800.
