Owning an oil portrait is intimate and personal. It freezes a moment in time, capturing the unique qualities and personality of someone you admire and love. As you view the examples on this site, keep in mind the styles, colors, and backgrounds that you identify with
and get to know your own tastes in portraiture.

"Memento Semper" = Always Remember
No life should pass without recognition. Portraits painted after death can help to seal the memories of loved ones who have gone before us. Such beautiful tokens marking one's life is an opportunity to secure individual memories.

I just sit in different places and gaze. The magnificent oil colors are wonderful. The subject is so exciting - the little child, the bird, the blossoms, nature in profuse glory."

Life in the eyes, the intricate work of the hands, and the naturalness of pose make the viewer a part of the painting as if engaged in conversation."

Just a note to say how happy I am with the painting. It is gloriously beautiful! The colors are exactly right and her face is perfect. I can't wait to have my first party to show it off. Thank you again for this exquisite creation."
