Painting portraits pushes me out of my comfort zone and
helps me to stretch as an artist.
This commissioned painting was a joy to work on. My client has three beautiful daughters (who are now grown and on their own) and our mutual goal was to capture the the cherished memories of family time at the beach. To keep the painting more simplified and the composition more powerful, one girl in the painting would represent the essence of all the three of the daughters.
Here are the three compositions that were shown to the client for selection. As an artist, I love the collaborative nature of painting a commissioned piece and enjoy the feedback from my client at the various stages in my process.
