Portraits & Commissioned Paintings

Here is a sample of Portraits and paintings I have done for individuals.  I have included a couple of copies of Old Masters that I did to learn their technique.  I now do portraits in the Old Masters Style.  I am always open to discuss your vision that you would like to see hung in your home.  Email me on the Contact Us page and I will call you to discuss your project.  It doesn't cost anything to talk about it.

tn_A_Masquerade.jpg
This commission was painted from a cell phone photo.
tn_alexandra_2.jpg
This commission was from a black and white photo taken in 1924 by a professional photographer in Berlin. She was a silent movie actress in the 1920's. There were no color photos of her as a young woman so I used her daughters skin tone and she picked the color of her eyes and hair.
tn_Aunt_Ellie.jpg
This was a drawing for a portrait of my wife's aunt in Germany. It was from a black and white photo and she felt it captured her aunt just like it was.
tn_Corbet_Copy_2.jpg
This is a copy of Courbet's self portrait. I really like the lighting from the top and the mysterious shadows that he got. It is a very close copy of the reference picture I had to work with. \r\n\r\nOriginal Available- Have not decided if Giclees will be offered.
tn_Don.jpg
This is a self portrait from a black and white photo taken by a photography several years ago when I had darker hair and a mustache. :)
