Luxury Birthday Ideas: a special Luxury Birthday Gift

The painting above was for a gentleman's 90th birthday gift. I used photographs from a 85th celebration.

Often we rack our brains trying to come up with a really special birthday gift for a loved one. Maybe they are turning one of the big milestone birthdays or maybe it just feels like the year to do something special for them. Honestly if you feel it is the year for this kind of gift, I'd encourage you to act on the sentiment as it is always wonderful to remember those you love with a really terrific gift.

I paint many birthday paintings for all ages from those turning 40 or 50 and...the last one was for a 90 year old man with four children who wanted to give him something really special! He LOVED it.

Another idea is for me to paint your children for your spouse. This is very exciting and the children LOVE to be in on the secret!

So if this seems like something that might interest you, please be in touch. I paint from small pieces up to 30 x 40 and even larger sometimes.

In addition I may be able to use your photos (please email me them so I can give you an accurate price for the painting and approximate size of the piece you'd like) or we can arrange for you to present a gift certificate and I will take photographs of your loved one at a later date.

I paint these with joy to celebrate your loved one. I also frame these paintings (or can make arrangements for this for you) quite often now, so let me know if you'd like for me to take care of that. One stop, so to speak.

New Portrait Commission: A 50th Birthday gift

I am looking forward to getting started next week on a birthday commission for the recipient's 50th Birthday gift. I have been working on several smaller paintings, polishing them up, getting the last important strokes in which bring a painting to life.

When I paint I think a lot about the person's character: this is my training and viewpoint. That I am not simply copying, but imparting a viewpoint. The feeling of the subject at that time in that setting with that light. I work to convey the subject on the most flattering terms as well!

I will post the smaller pieces I'm finishing up soon. One is a portrait of a precious little white dog.

The other portrait is a posthumous of a young mother. I am pulling out all the stops to make this piece capture the loveliness of this mom.

Luxury Valentine's Gift!! A Gift Certificate for an oil or pastel Portrait

So it is six days before VALENTINE'S DAY and you don't have that extra special gift for your loved one yet? If you want to do something extra special this year, I have just the idea which is easy on your part and one of the most thoughtful gifts you can offer— — a gift certificate for a portrait of your loved one or one of your children (if you have a family).

Ideas:
1. A head and shoulder, 3/4 (includes hands, but not feet) or full length painting of your loved one.

2. A painting of your children to be commissioned and planned with your loved one.

Consider how fun it will be to have a group painting of your children in your home always. You can include the family pet as well. Either we can plan a painting indoors or outdoors at your convenience.

Pet portraits from Photos: pet portrait artists

Pet portraits are a delightful part of my work. Gifts for dog lovers and other pet owners are a delight to do. I am currently working on a dog portrait which I will post when it is complete. The joy that pets bring to their owner's lives is immeasurable, so capturing them on canvas is meaningful as a gift for one's self or a family member. Pet portraits from photos that you have makes the job quite seamless or I am available to photograph your pet and we can review the painting options in more detail.

Pet portraits can also make a wonderful gifts for loss of a pet.

Having learned from the master painters of our age who have passed down painting techniques from generations passed, I can make your portrait go above and beyond a simple rendering.
