Did you know that a significant portion of our mind is dedicated to recognizing people's faces and their emotions?  

For that reason, every portrait requires skillful attention. Small amounts of paint, or even the texture of the canvas, can substantially alter a person's appearance.  I work to capture each individual in their own best light for your painting.  One of the most exciting things I get to do, is to add people who are not physically present (even those who are no longer with us).  I can use past photos to reflect their presence in your painting today.

Use this option to add additional people, pets, architecture, or items requiring source images to your painting.

Portraying the people you care about most requires careful detail, even when they are painted in an impressionistic style.  That's why I give you the option to choose how to include people in your painting.  I will review your options for additional guests during our consultation after your booking, so there is no need to make your decision until that time.
