by Bobbie Bush

The decision to immortalize a moment or a loved one through a portrait painting often begins with a seemingly simple question: "How do I choose the right picture?" For many, this choice is fraught with doubts about the technical qualities of their favorite snapshots. Yet, the true art of picture to portrait painting lies not in selecting the perfect photograph but in finding the one that captures a feeling, a memory, or an essence that speaks to you.
Finding the right photo makes all the difference!
