The Removal

This is a piece sprang from a sketch I did on my way home from Therapy actually. I have been bringing my sketchbook with me on the Train lately instead of a reading book and I have been catching some interesting images.

I have not been promoting them as of late, but I also do Custom Portraits, here are some 5".7" oil portraits I did in 2007. These paintings were all done on an 8".10" wood panel. As you can see from the reference picture my portraits are somewhat Disney-ized versions of the subject for a enchanting final product. I am happy to do your portrait in any theme that speaks to you, this customer wanted a Victorian theme to all of the portraits so I used an Oval Victorian pattern to encapsulate each portrait and used rich coppery tones to give the pieces a antiquated feel. If you notice both the men appear to be wearing "eyeliner" that is because they where, I love the juxtaposition between rock and Victorian.
