Happy Valentine’s Day

The woman who commissioned this portrait as a gift for her husband, left everything up to me as far as the photo choice, the medium and the size. After noticing one heart in the shading, I couldn’t resist adding nine more for each year of their marriage. Fun, and hopelessly romantic.😍😍😍

A Great Reference Photo

I loved working on Buddy, particularly his mouth. There is nothing more exciting to me than getting a really clear reference photo. And now you know what kind of life I lead. 😂 I tell clients the more detail in their photo, the better their portrait. You just can’t make stuff up.
