The Idea

Large Scale Portraits of people with a lot of life experience that integrate the actual words of their stories into the lines and wrinkles of their faces.

For those of you who may be interested in commissioning a painting. I would be thrilled to accept. For a 4'X 5' (as seen at Art Prize) the cost is $2500. For a 3'X4' the cost is $2300. You may also commission a portrait drawn in charcoal- 4'X 5' for $1700 or 3'X'4 for $1500.

Thank you very much to all who inquired!

Up next- Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery Competition

I have decided that next big endeavor will be entering the Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition 2013 at the Smithsonian Institute's National Portrait Gallery. The prize is $25,000 and a commission for the permanent collection. The deadline is coming up at the end of this month so I would like some feedback, please. Of the 5 portraits I did for ArtPrize, which do you think is the most compelling- Esther, Bill, Frank, Inez, or Cirila?
