Portraiture is always a challenge. Whether a subject is rendered in pencil, charcoal, or
pastel, or painted in watercolor, acrylic, or oil, Portraiture is an exercise in every artistic element; style, dimension,
perspective, light and shadowing, colors/shadings - Most Importantly, in a portrait it is the portrayal of the individual
essence of the subject that makes the image come to life.
Below are a selection of snapshots of some of my past commissions.

Commission Prices reflect the time, materials,and complexity required in each composition. My portraits
range in Price starting at $150 for B&W mediums. Color mediums begin at $350. Some of my portraits have
been created without me ever having seen the subject in person, but most, are a mixture of on-site sketches, my photographs,
and the photos of the client.
