Some portrait commissions are like a walk in the park.
Judi Paul was a delight to meet and paint. She has such a gracious and welcoming countenance. Her signature red glasses and matching red lipstick just asked for more red.

I felt the turn of the pose helped capture her vitality and charm.
 
Thank you, Ruth Reeves at Portraits Inc, for this fun commission.

The whole process was a joy.

Charcoal drawings have their own quiet charm.
With this one, the client asked for some color in the background. Always pleased when the client and the subject are both happy.

Thank you, Lenox Meythaler at Portrait Associates, for 
introducing me to this delightful Huntsville family. 

The art is 20x16 and the 24K gold frame is from the
amazingly talented Phil Olson, at Mayen-Olson Frames.
