Reagan Portrait

This is a sample portrait I just completed for Portraits Inc. (my art rep). The model is a little girl named Reagan and she was a doll. I saw a photo of her and did some investigating to find out who she was because she was so cute. As luck would have it, I had a friend that knew her family and so I was able to go and make my own photos of her. I believe she is 4 years old this month but she acted like she was a professional model. I painted this in oil on masonite 20"x30". It was great practice because I had never painted an African American before. It was a great challenge but I think well worth my efforts.

Molly's Dog

This is an oil portrait I just completed for a client in Atlanta. The dog's name was Max. He was a beautiful dog and very well mannered. He would sit and pose for me while I took tons of photos of him. It was almost like he knew what I was doing so he was on his best behavior. The only negative I had to say about him was that he shed like no other. I left there looking like a Yetti!
