Oil Portraits
Looking for a gift for a special occasion: birthday, anniversary, graduation, Christmas? How about an oil portrait? Want to turn an old sepia or black and white photo into a painting. I can do that. Want to make a newer picture look older with that same type of finish? I can do that. Want to visualize yourself in another time or place? I can place you in an old dress or suit or uniform.
I started getting into art work in high school way back in the dark ages. In college I got more serious, dealing mainly with sports and aircraft. I dabbled in portraits, primarily sketches, pastel, and water color, but finally decided I did my best work in oils.
Now that you seen some samples of my art, I hope I can work with you. You'll need to send me a photograph to work from (the higher res, the better) and decide on a format: as is, sepia tone/black and white, or historic. We can talk it out and decide what you like best.
8x10: $80 / 11x14: $150 / 14x18: $250 / 16x20: $325
Other sizes negotiable.
You can reach me at pkdphd@gmail.com or 210-843-5011.
I ask for half the payment to get started and the rest when you approve the finished product (I'll send a picture to you by email). If you're not happy, I'll work on it some more or give you your down payment back.
