Contact me for a portrait that captures the character of someone you care about. I especially like to work from old family photographs. Above is a group portrait of my grandmother, her siblings, and their parents at their sixtieth wedding anniversary. When I paint a portrait,  even from a photograph,  I feel like I get to know the person and often express more than I consciously know.  Commissions happily accepted.
