Portrait Gallery


Having a portrait painted is a fascinating undertaking, an original art work that lasts indefinately, and, is actually about the same price as a studio photograph. And reveals more, is much more than the outer image.
The artist's mission is to capture the "spirit" of the person/subject being painted.
The aim is to create the effect that the painting is as alive as the sitter.
We all have many snapshots taken in a lifetime, but not many have the artistic impression, and are for everyone, not for just famous people.
An original Portrait is a precious  art peiceto treasure, and enjoy forever.

Displayed here are photos of paintings. some  of  live 20 minute sketches with free/loose lines, but capture the sitter's essence  beautifully.
