Outdoor portrait - $1,000
I received the following portrait inquiry. I'll post the photo they want done - I have a large scan of it. I can see why they want a painting of it - it's very charming. Of course, this is the kind of source material that we always discourage artists using. If you're interested in this please let me know.
Subjects = 1
Figure = Not sure
Background = Outdoor
Medium = Oil
Budget = $1000
PortraitInfo = I have a photograph of my mom watering flowers. She is in profile in a garden with brick wall and trees, etc. We do not have much experience with the art world, beyond museum gazing... I think the style we're looking for is "realism". After casually exploring the website, we decided that the styles of the following artists were just beautiful! ( Weiss, Paules, Blackstock, William T. Chambers, Banks, Linton, also like the impressionistic work of Beuttell Dayton) However they are completely beyond our means. We were hoping to have something done for mom's 70th birthday Dec. 2006. Perhaps you know of some promising students who are looking to add to their portfolios?
