Finished Portraits and Illustrations


 Here are some of the portraits that I have been working on lately...I didn't do the step by step this time with the portraits as  I had too much to do and was short on time.  The first one has been picked up all ready, it was a huge success.  My client was very pleased with it.  His wife had been enjoying another portrait I did for a friend of theirs a few years back so he decided to surprise her for her birthday with a portrait of their own.  One thing that I notice quite a bit from people who pick up their portraits is that they take it out to their car, open it up and have another good look at it.  It is quiet and they are alone with their thoughts... It is a very intimate moment.  There is always a quiet, sweet smile on their face.  I wonder if they know that I am watching them.  I get my pleasure from their reaction to the thing that I created for them.
