Portraits

My first paid portrait commission was when I was 14 years old, a portrait of my best friend’s grandfather.  Their mother asked me to paint him from a single photo she treasured. I was successful enough that the portrait was framed and hung.

Since then I’ve been fortunate to be commissioned to draw or paint many portraits, world leaders, scoundrels, authors, friends and family.  Each one is a special challenge and one that I enjoy. 

Portraits are priced at $3000 on up, depending on size and media.
