This is a painting of my brother and me. It's from an old black and white photo that was tacked up on my parents laundry room wall for as long as I can remember. When I was home last spring I took it with me thinking I would just scan it in and clean up the photo. Then I thought it would make a great gift for my parents... It was their 37th wedding anniversary on Tuesday so I painted it as a gift for them. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!! Since I was a teenager I've done portraits.. I've been doing them ever since. It's what I first learnt to do well. I just love observing the details of a persons face, the little details that give them personality! My one main recommendation when getting a portrait painted from a photo would be pick something fun! Don't pick the standard school photo...or a staged photo ... that doesn't usually show the person's personality! Pick the photo of you and your loved one laughing and carrying on. The kids in their Halloween costume or playing on the swings or at the beach. Your teenager all dressed up for the prom having a good time...take the photo while their laughing with their friends or getting ready...get a close-up of them!! The bride and groom dancing cheek to cheek, or the baby playing with there favorite toy or when they've made a mess at meal time and have food all over their bib and face!! Your having the memory of a loved one committed to oil and canvas have fun.... enjoy it... make it memorable.
