Hi Cynthia,

I'm looking at the copy now, the subtitle is "How to pick a portrait painter". It goes on to say that portraits generally start around 3k for head and shoulders, although 5-12k is more the norm with a family portrait being between 15-35k. It states how to find an artist that fits your budget by asking friends, galleries or the internet, via sites like a Stroke of Genius or ASOPA.

The article goes on to name some of the more notable artists, and how to find one that not only fits your wallet, but your expectations.

Hope that helps!
