Commissioned portraits

Portraits

Commissioned portraits in oil and acrylic, painted from photographs you already have.

Are you looking to have a portrait painted of your child, your spouse or another family member? Any medium is available — acrylic, oil or watercolour — and techniques range from smooth blending to work rendered entirely with a palette knife.

Portraits are painted from photographs, so nobody has to sit. One or more subjects are welcome, and several photographs can be combined into a single artwork — so a family who has never been photographed together still can be. The better the photograph — good light, a real expression, the face large in the frame — the better the painting, and Jenny will tell you honestly if the picture you love will not carry a canvas.

Call or text 715.590.3445 for details and pricing, or send the photograph and the size you have in mind. Free local delivery and installation in Southwest Florida; shipping elsewhere at cost.
