Imagine your child's' personality captured in a custom portrait on 11 " x 14" canvas! Working from your ideas and favorite snapshots or photos, I'll create a very lifelike and detailed portrait! I use a mixed media approach for my paintings on stretched canvas which combines the best aspects of traditional painting (oil and acrylics) with digital painting to achieve an elegant portrait painting with a very realistic likeness! I spend hours and hours painting with traditional paintbrushes and digital brushes on each portrait, working through several different stages to showcase all the precious details of your child! You will actually become part of the creative process, since you'll be weighing in on the details at various stages in the development of the portrait. I'll send you composition sketches and images of the work in progress to make sure important details like eye color, hair color, etc. are perfect! By working together we'll create a great portrait! This listing is for one subject, in size: 11" x 14". Please contact me for a specific quote for other sizes and additional figures

I'm a professional artist specializing in fine art paintings, pet portraits and illustration. I have a fine arts degree with a major in graphic design. I've had over thirty-five years experience in creating custom artwork and design. I create artwork using a wide range of media: traditional watercolor, acrylic, oils, and pen and ink as well as modern hand-painted digital paintings on canvas and archival paper. I use only the highest quality archival materials in creating my work.
Once you choose the subject of your custom painting, we'll work together to make it a reality. Will it be a portrait of your child, a favorite pet or animal, a house portrait or a treasured family memory? I'll closely involve you in the creative process throughout the various stages of painting. With your suggestions and input, every detail will be brought to perfection. It's great fun for you to see your painting develop, and working together in this way we'll create the exact "masterpiece" YOU have in mind!
Painting is my passion; I'm committed to creating the most heartwarming and elegant paintings that I possibly can for my customers, who attest to my patience, close attention to perfection and ability to please!
