I’m so excited to announce this Special Project.
To participate, just e-mail me a photo of your kid, beloved animal, or you with your child or animal sharing a lovely moment together. (Your photo will be kept private, and only used as a painting reference.)
The first time I did a project like this, 11 years ago, it focused on moms and babies. This time it is open to a wide interpretation of parental love – dads, grandparents, pets… Surprise me.
If I paint from your photo, the painting will be available to you for $300, shipped framed and ready to hang on your wall (but no obligation to purchase).
That is less than my regular portrait pricing because these paintings do not follow the regular portrait process.

What makes a photo great for painting?
Candid photos, and photos with good light are better for painting from. Photos with 1 or 2 people or animals are best.
