Description - A pastel portrait my store owner's children. The original photo of the
kids did not have jerseys from the NFL Ravens. I had to research the
jerseys-#9 is Kyle Boller, #52 is Ray Lewis. Mixing an even purple for the jerseys was difficult. I wanted a pastel color that was close so I didn't have to use black to darken but also dulling it. I spent a whole day
driving to every artstore in Baltimore (there is three, plus the Maryland Institute of Art student store, to settle on a dark bluish purple by Sennelier Pastels. Sennelier makes the only good deep dark soft pastels but they are usually too crumbly and transparent by themselves.

About Me
These are samples of commissioned portraits I have created from photographs supplied by the customer. Starting prices: Oil paintings are $3OO, Pastels are $185, Charcoals are $130, unframed. Framing is extra. Mail orders are accepted, with shipping charges extra. Currently I set up my easel on weekends at the Tobacco, Etc. store in White Marsh Mall in Maryland just north of Baltimore off Interstate 95, exit 67b. This is how I make a living getting portrait and landscape commissions and doing caricatures on the spot from live sittings for $10.I am also available to draw caricatures at parties and conventions. The frame shop I previously worked at here closed and its time to try to branch out.
