Painting From Photo Family Portrait | Grandma Gift Painting | Portrait From Photo | Portrait Painting Anniversary Gift | Original Painting

Custom portraits give you the opportunity to capture a treasured personal moment and preserve it in the highest art form �a hand-painted oil painting.

I paint with a palette knife producing a textured result that cannot be achieved with a brush alone. You will receive not just a reproduction of your photo but an impressionist painting with creative depth, movement and texture by an award-winning artist.

Customer Review:
"When I was looking for an artist to commission for a painting of my daughter naturally I wanted to select an individual Whos style of painting I liked. But also what was incredibly important was that this artist could share my vision of the painting whereby they incorporated their style to my requests.
I could not have wished any more than what I received from Claire. She was patient and understanding throughout the whole process and made it a pleasure to experience.
Claire made certain the end result was exactly what we wanted and to say we were ecstatic with the painting would be an understatement. We have had nothing but excellent comments from friends and family.
I can not recommend her enough. Thanks Claire."
Kind regards
A. Milosevic

All you have to do:

Provide an image taken outdoors in bright conditions.

What I do:

�After assessing each photograph and discussing the best composition with you, I start working on a canvas enlargement.
�I will carefully finish your portrait using archival oil paints and the richness of texture applied with a palette knife that requires a high level of skill.
�Artist's signature
�The end result is your own truly original oil-on-canvas work of art to hand down from generation to generation.

Your hand-painted oil portrait will be treasured as a timeless family heirloom and can also be given as the ultimate gift to your family and friends.
