Between staying true to my new year's resolution of volunteering at the
local gallery and playing family nurse to kids with the flu, I can't say it's been a boring start to 2013!
I gained so much personal satisfaction creating a
portrait for my sister in law at Christmas, I was excited to get custom requests after the holidays. Looking back, the time I spent on these custom family portraits at the art desk was definitely much needed quiet time to myself.

The woman who commissioned this trio requested a digital media touch, to create an
obvious mixed media look... |

| The latest one was also a joy to work on...each family member becomes a personality for me as I work. |
It is always a marvel to me how similar and yet different the end result is from the original cherished photo! I'm looking forward to working on more of these
requests in the months to come...
Wow, these are amazing Melissa! I haven't seen anything quite like it!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work! I believe that custom portraiture is a great way to challenge yourself and grow in your art really fast! I loved Krisha's family portrait when I saw it on her blog.
