On a gentle summer afternoon as Judi and I ambled gently through her garden, she seemed the most relaxed and peaceful. This is where she was at ease
surrounded by her flowers and trees.  
​
Her smile said it all.

Eliza was a joy to paint!

We played LEGO’s to get to know one another, sharing conversation and ideas.  The relaxed play time and focus shows through in her expression.

Paintings of pets with children often capture themes of companionship, innocence, and joy, but the pets don’t always want to cooperate!

Placing the dog in a relaxing position within the portrait on the couch was a good option, the family was happy, so was I.

​The whole time I am sketching and photographing a child, I ask them a lot of questions and discuss ideas with them.

If you can engage with children, they will give you a few moments of focus and connection that is wonderful to capture.

This is Casey — an oil on canvas using a limited palette.

Richard Schmid mastered this monochromatic portrait style, calling them "portrait sketches" that appear effortless and gentle. The key, he believed, was to stop early; freshness is the golden ingredient!

Combining the beauty of nature and the subject of the portrait you can create a harmonious image where the subject is integrated with, rather than simply placed in front of, their surroundings.

And you can never go wrong with painting girls surrounded by flowers.

There is a trend to create a more contemporary look in a portrait with a minimal approach, focusing only on the child’s face and hair, 

Sometimes less IS more, and simple can be quite enchanting.
