PAINTED PORTRAIT STORIES:
Painting Commissions That Celebrate Your Loved Ones

The Magic of Everyday Moments

Magical moments -- especially in the life of a child -- happen every single day. These moments emerge from our daily life, and are wonderfully unexpected and spontaneous. Through the incredible power of the camera phones, we are at the ready to record these special times!

Savoring the Joy of Childhood

It was a family trip to the orchard for apple picking when a proud grandmother captured a number of charming candid photographs of her grandchildren. Simple and relaxed, these snapshots became the ideal source material for a pair of special painting commissions.

"You captured my grandchildren beautifully."

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"They're just gorgeous! You captured my grandchildren beautifully. These mean the world to me. I couldn't be happier. When my grandchildren grow up, they'll put these in their own home for their children to see."

- Laura

Wouldn't it be amazing to have a meaningful painting
that celebrates someone special?

Let's explore the possibilities!

What is a painted portrait?

Painted portrait commissions combine traditional photographic portraiture with hand-applied painting artistry. Using a mixed media approach, I blend a variety of mediums and tools, from a camera to a tablet to more traditional artist mediums and oils on canvas.

Each portrait commission begins with a reference image and is transformed into a work of art, initially with hand-rendered modern brushwork, and later the painting is transferred to canvas and enhanced with texture, glazes and oil paints. In the end you'll have a painting that you'll love!

Your photograph. Transformed.

Your work of art can be transformed into a painting from most any camera photo or image regardless of the background. In addition, you may also be able to use a digital file you had someone else photograph as long as we have permission. Send us a photo, or we can schedule a sitting.

It's easier than you think to Commission a Painting.

"When we work together, you'll be guided through each step of the process, know what to expect, and there will be no surprises about a person's likeness. In the end, you'll have the custom painting you have always envisioned."

Bobbie Bush, portrait artist
