Portraits

Portraiture has always interested me and I continue to take commissions for both oil paintings as well as charcoal sketches.  I work from photographs - having found through trial and error that in this way I can capture a moment in time as well as the sitter's personality.  You will notice that these portraits are more painterly the closer you get to them - the further away, the more they look photo-realistic.
