Why a portrait?
June 25th, 2005
A painted portrait is a gracious way to honor parents and grandparents or revere a spouse. It can mark the coming of age of adolescents and young adults or capture the innocence of childhood. It is a sophisticated way to recognize and celebrate an achievement, accomplishment or important event.
A portrait artist’s sensitivity and skills can communicate character, convey dignity or even impart a sense of mystery. Well done, it is more than a good likeness; it also invokes a subject’s personality.
A portrait that is enjoyed today becomes part of a lasting heritage. A beautiful painting or drawing will greatly enrich your home. As a treasured heirloom it will always enrich your heart.â€
