The art of portraiture is literally thousands of years old, and continually evolving. My goal as an artist is to tell a story about the subject, capturing the essentials of their personality as well as their likeness. There is no substitute for an oil portrait of your loved one. Whether it's your grandchildren, your entire family or just your favorite animal family member, you will capture a special part of your life with which no photograph can ever compare. Every time you gaze upon your portrait, a flood of emotions carrying the time, the place and the memories will rush through your heart.

To begin this process, first, I discuss with you what type of portrait you are looking for; the size, the mood, and a general color sense, so that the painting desired will fit comfortably in the home or business. We will then schedule a sitting (if possible) at an appropriate location where reference photos are taken trying different poses.

Oil Portraits start at $600 per individual for a medium size painting. Larger is definitely an option that will alter the price according to the actual size you desire.

If this is a long distance portrait, I will be relying on you to send me photos that are representative of how you would like your portrait realized. Consult my Portrait Gallery for examples of portraits in oils I have completed.

Please call 559-738-9808 or email me to discuss prices and details on the portrait waiting to become a family heirloom.
