Five Child Portraits Spring 2015


This recently completed commission of five sibling portraits made the mother
very happy. 

I painted working from assorted sized professional portraits dating from the 1960's that 
she provided me. Although she treasured them they looked too inconsistent in size and
 composition (some close-ups, some three quarter body shots) to display on the wall nicely together.

She had been looking for a way to have portraits of her children that worked nicely together.
We agreed on a rainbow effect colour scheme in medium tones and a size of 12"x 12." 
Now these grace the wall of her favourite room in her house where she can enjoy them every day.
