Art Breathes Life Into Our Souls
“A good portrait ought to tell something of the subject’s past and suggest something of his future.” (Bill Brandt, photographer)
“The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to.” Frida Kahlo

How this works
I work closely with you to ensure I have a complete understanding of your desired end result. What is the purpose of the painting? Is it a gift for someone? Is it destined to be a family treasure? Do you need it for your home or your office? What’s your budget? How much detail do you want? Do you want a special background? I have different prices for individuals and group portraits as well as pet portraits.
If you have a favorite photo you’d like me to work from, email it to me along with any specific needs at bluesuedeshuz@yahoo.com and I will give you a quote and an estimate of the time.
Think about your favorite colors, and about the features in the photo that mean the most to you.
Once I have your information, I’ll begin work on the portrait. Be sure I have a phone number and an email address in case I have questions.
Looking forward to working with you!
