16" x 20" - $400.00 18" x 24" - $500.00 20" x 24 - $600.00 Larger and custom sizes - $125/ sq foot Portraits are done from photos. If you are close enough geographically, I will photograph the subject myself. Some of the portraits you can see on this site were commissioned and painted using e-mailed photos of the subject. For instance, the Nationwide Towing in Nassau County was done using several e-mailed photos: The most pleasing view of the subject was obtained using "Tricks" of perspective that cannot be accomplished with photographs, however the architecture and other elements of the portrait are completely accurate - down to the names of the owner's children on the tow trucks! The Lincoln Continental Convertible in the foreground was specifically requested by the buyer but a photo was not available. He simply described the color of the interior and exterior, the year (1962) and PRESTO - the Lincoln was in the portrait. |
