My most recent portrait comes on the tail end of holiday portrait orders. This portrait was requested by a wonderful mother interested in having her daughter’s portrait created in honor of her first birthday. I found that to be such a sweet gift.

She decided on graphite pencil and couldn’t have chosen a more appropriate medium for the image she wanted to portray.

Introducing Ella, in all her beauty and grace…

I’ve been in correspondence with Nataly, a wonderful mother from Russia, with regards to painting a portrait of her daughter Sophie. After much consideration, we decided I would create a portrait inspired by a photograph taken by photographer, Anastasia Serdukova. This portrait is titled Kissed by the Light.

As Sophie is such a vibrant girl, I felt the best choice of medium would be pastel. Since PanPastel offers a strong painterly effect, I opted to use this type of pastel for the portrait as I wished for bold, bright color and light - a representation, I felt, worked best in Sophie’s likeness.

Thank you Anastasia and Nataly. Most of all thank you Sophie for influencing this piece with your lively personality and beauty.

I am very excited to add the image of this beautiful child, titled Spirited, to  my online portfolio collection. This particular study is created in pastel which, I feel, works well with the overall composition. This was the last commission portrait of the year created for the Christmas holiday.

The story behind this young girl’s struggle very early in her life has greatly inspired the process of this piece, as did the influence and devotion of her mother, Nicole…

Just a quick reminder to let everyone know I am still accepting commissions for Mother’s Day portraits.

Once again, I offer several options for your choice of medium. Creating a black and white portrait in graphite pencil or pen and ink is always a nice choice to compliment any decor. To add a touch of color to your walls… a portrait created in colored pencil or pastel would be your choice.
