Portrait of Katharine Hepburn Featured on Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center Blog Site |
|
| My portrait of
Katharine Hepburn (see "Celebrity Portraits" below) is featured on the home
page of the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center and Theater blog site:
www.katharinehepburntheater.org
This blog site was created by Ann Nyberg. Ann is on the Board of Trustees for the soon to open (in July 2009) Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. Ann emailed me in December and asked if she could use my portrait of Kate on her blog site and I said yes. Apparently, she had seen it on the Web Digest Weekly online newsletter. |

My Latest Completed Portraits |
||
|
|
 |
The portrait on the
far left was from a commission I got at the 2008 cat show here in Idaho.. I didn't
actually get the go-ahead to start the portrait until around September.
It took a couple of months to finish because I got so tied up with school
work, but at last it is done. The little chihuahua dog is something I just completed this month. This is "Pepe" a Chihuahua who passed away last year and the owner wanted a special portrait of him. When I was a kid I had a Chihuahua I named Coco and this portrait looks an awful lot like him.

These celebrities happen to be some of my favorites from the "Golden Age" of Hollywood. With the exception of the Bogart portrait, which I did when I was in college many years ago, all these were done recently and now hang in the downstairs of my house, which has been turned into a TV/entertainment room with an old-time Hollywood movie theme. |

| I do portraits mostly
from photographs, preferably more than one. These need to be provided
by you. You can mail them to me or send by email. If you want a
pet portrait and you live nearby and don't have any photos of your pet, I can come
over and take the photos myself. If you are providing the photos,
make sure they are good photos that are clear, in focus and show lots of
detail without a lot of shadows.
I prefer not to do two originals of the same photo. If you want me to create two originals of the same person, they need to be from two different photos. I no longer do 5 X 7 size portraits. (They are too small and I don't want to do miniature portraits.) If client requests a portrait with lots of extras (special backgrounds, multiple images, etc.) I will present a printed estimate of the costs before starting the portrait that lists the individual charges and the final total. There is a 6% sales tax for Idaho residents. |
