Custom Pastel offers Portrait, Hand-Drawn from Your Photo

This is a hand-drawn pastel portrait, created from your photo (or photos) and delivered to you electronically along with instructions on how to get it printed out near your home in 24 hours or less-- for little more than I would have had to charge for shipping and handling...and your satisfaction is guaranteed.

For example, Office Depot/Office Max will output your painting on a 16x20 canvas for about $20 or less, and offers same day pickup.

I've been doing portraits for more than 60 years, starting with pastel drawings while I was still a kid. In college, I learned oil painting, and today, my portraits of community leaders, clergy, judges and other professionals, as well as countless families, can be found in public buildings and homes nationwide.

When an accident in 2001 left me disabled and eventually put an end to my commercial career, I became intrigued with digital artistry. Using an early predecessor of the iPad, I soon learned how to apply my skills offers and experience in this new medium, not just in pastels, but also in oil painting and even watercolors. (But the soft, natural, vibrant feel of pastels is still my favorite!)

Just message me your clear and high-resolution photo or photos, indicating the hair and eye color of each person you want painted, as well as your preferred background color. Most modern cell phone photos are more than adequate for this. Just avoid flash and glare.

Then, in three to five days, I'll send you a proof. At that time, if you're not satisfied, I'll cancel the order and refund your money. Otherwise, I'll message you with a web address where you can download your finished portrait, ready for printing.
