Custom portrait oil painting, 12 x 16 inches
______

Imagine...

Walking into a room, being surrounded by art that moves you and lifts your spirit.

Your visitors' envious exclamations, as they ask you about your art collection.

"Oh wow, that's stunning. It's just…beautiful! WOW! Looks just like you! Where did you get it?"

You smile, as you explain that you got it from Maria Waye, the artist who painted your portrait.


â€?*¨¨*:â€? :â€?*¨¨*:â€? :â€?*¨¨*:â€?

By that way, I'm Maria Waye. I take pride in putting my heart and soul into every work of art.

You're the kind of art lover who's looking for something more.

Something with heart, life and fire.

Fresh, creative, and passionate.

Much more than a mere reproduction of a photo.

You've found the right artist, because I never copy photos mindlessly! Anti-photo slave, that's me.

I believe art is sacred and has the power to enhance your life.

I'm obsessed with finding just the right color, and love to improvise. Slinging paint brings me joy.


â€?*¨¨*:â€? :â€?*¨¨*:â€? :â€?*¨¨*:â€?

Got an idea? Maybe a favorite photo you'd love to have translated into fine art?

Here's how to get started:

Please start by sending me an Etsy message with photos attached, or email me at

maria [!at] mariawaye.com

I can take a look at your photos, and reply with some feedback about how they work as paintings.

â€?*¨¨*:â€? :â€?*¨¨*:â€? :â€?*¨¨*:â€?

After seeing your photos and ideas, I'll recommend a few options for layout, custom quotes and time estimate based on your specific needs.

When you decide on all the details, you can ask me to set up your order.

After your order is placed, I'll confirm that your painting is next on my schedule.

The time it takes varies, depending on how much of the body is included, the background, props, etc. and my current schedule.

You'll get to see the finished painting for approval before it is shipped, that way you know for sure you love it!
