"It's not just just the quality of work, but the heart in it." Dr. Ann McCombs
The commission
process is a close collaboration
between the patron and the artist
in which a shared vision is given
reality.
There are two important issues when painting a commissioned portrait. First, I need a clear photo, well-lit and representative of your animal companion. Secondly, I must have an understanding of the personality
I'm
painting. I like to learn as much as I can about your friend, so I can truly ‘paint their
soul.’ Inevitably during the
painting process I become deeply
connected to each subject.
