Click Here to Learn About Commissioning a Portrait Every portrait is special to the client, one painted and the artist. It’s the artist’s job to make the portrait desirable to all three. Just about anything is possible for Tom in the way of portraiture. Charcoal, watercolor and oil portraits can be done quickly if necessary. This one color oil painting on
an 8" x 10" gessoed masonite board was painted from the supplied
photo. This portrait was begun in the spring of 2004. Tom would visit Mason for one hour each week. He would make sketches, take photographs and just play with Mason. Summer came and went and in the fall Tom started to have an idea of what the composition would be. By the spring of 2005 Tom had the canvas stretched and the drawing begun. The drawing was okay by the grandmother in the summer and Tom started the face in August. Click on thumbnail for larger image
