Commission the artist to paint a traditional commemorative oil painting in the classical realism style of the old masters or a spirited light-hearted, airy watercolor child's portrait in the realistic style with impressionistic background. Order a custom action-packed energetic children's portrait or a comical caricature of the boss. From celebrity sports figures to two-year-old future baseball players, from champion thoroughbreds to family pets, from corporate portraits to family portraits, for a lifetime of happy memories, commission a commemorative heirloom portrait for your wedding, retirement, birthday, confirmation, bas mitsvah.

"With the marvelous invention of the camera, it is no longer necessary for artists to expect their subjects to sit still for long, exhausting periods of time posing for a formal, rigid, unrealistic portrait. With the aid of modern technology, today's artist can paint action-packed detailed images from photographs to produce contemporary realistic and informal portraits. A child's portrait is more likely to evoke happy memories if the subject is engaged in a favorite activity in natural surroundings.

To be clear, I only use photographs as reference material for my original paintings, often producing detailed pencil drawings on the canvas before I paint. I do not paint over top of a digitally reproduced photo as shown on TV's shopping channel. I do not consider those to be original paintings."
