Portraits Painting the Guys (and Girls)

Through the years, I have sketched and painted many portraits of my four sons. Occasionally, I do a watercolor, oil, or pastel portrait on commission. I like to paint children and pets, working from sketches (hopefully when the subject is reasonably at rest) and photographs alone if there is no chance of personal contact with the subject.

I am no Rembrandt. You will have to judge for yourself by looking at these samples of my portraiture. Unless marked otherwise, they are studio oil paintings.

As to cost, an 11x14 watercolor or pastel portrait can be completed for around $350, plus matting and framing. An oil portrait would start at $600 for an 11x14 canvas, plus frame.
