Portrait painting

 Portrait commissions

 This is a portrait I have just finished, it's an oil painting on linen canvas,16" x 20", the subject in this case was my husband and he decided that he wanted a portrait painted from a photograph from a few years ago that he liked, rather than sitting for one now and I was only too happy to work this way from a photograph. The image has to be a good one though to enable the detail to be there when I enlarge it.
 I was pleased with the result as I felt it captured the mood we wanted just right, a portrait like this is something that one can really enjoy and a unique family heirloom.
