In my floral paintings, I enjoy capturing these lovely Shykoski daffodils in season and painted them from life in my studio. I only wish daffodil season lasted longer!

Contemporary portrait artists: Featured in Wellesley-Weston magazine, Summer 2013

I will add some photos soon—it's a super busy time for me in my studio— but I'm very pleased to be featured in the lovely publication, Wellesley Weston magazine in their Summer 2013 issue, which has just been mailed out. The magazine is an extremely high-quality publication with gorgeous 4/c printing. I was truly honored to be asked for this recognition.

Special Graduation Gifts

I am currently working on several high school graduation portraits. Commissioning a portrait of your child at this time in their life is an exciting and wonderful thing. I can give you a gift card to wrap and the graduate will book a time to meet me at their convenience.

Other gifts for college graduates can be paintings of their school. Contact me about commissioning such a painting, which will be memorable and timeless!

Another Landscape commission in my plans

I'm pleased to have just accepted another landscape commmission for a local client. These commissions are wonderful gifts for anniversaries, weddings and birthdays. I will wait to post my photo of the evening nightscape which was approved last week (without any changes,) as that is a gift to be given this summer.

Landscape commissions:
I work from my own reference materials and also work on commission, so if you have a dream seascape/ landscape image, please let me know. These make enduring and memorable gifts! ( My email is soniahale1@gmail.com.)

Client Testimonials for Commissioned Portraits, House portraits and Landscapes

It's always great to hear from my clients. Here are some comments I'd like to share:

Hi Sonia!
I picked up the framed pastel today and I am deliriously happy. It's really beautiful. I'm not sure it's in the final location, but it's up and I'm thrilled to tears.

. . . thank you once again! It was a pleasure and I enjoyed the process with you.

I knew my wife would cry when she saw the portrait, because it was her.

Sonia exceeded expectations at capturing the warm feeling of a New England home that was ours for a memorable three years. That picture immediately brings us back to great friends, neighbors, schools, and community. What an awesome way to remember the best of the past.

We love it!!!!!!

You are a wonder. Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your alchemy.

I am speechless! Sonia, it is simply lovely! Thank you so much!

Sonia, this is really wonderful. I am so in awe of your talent.
Wowee! It is even more amazing than the photo shows. The colors, the light -- the skin tones.

Thank you SO much, Caroline for making this happen. I agree with Laura, I think M&D will be absolutely thrilled!

Good Morning Sonia,
Thanks for sending the painting of my mother. I love it ! I tried printing it on photo paper, but my printer needs adjustment to accept the heavy paper. Will keep trying as it will be a focal piece on the wall where I have a xxx memorabilia collection.

Dear Sonia
Mailing me a photograph of my mother would be much appreciated. (referring to the painting of his mother)

Beautiful. I just want to sit here with it for a while.

The painting has a glow and lights up the library.

It is impossible to thank you properly, but we will treasure this portrait always.

Portrait commissions are a wonderful way to honor loved ones. In addition I work from my own reference materials and also work on commission, so if you have a dream seascape/ landscape image, please let me know. These make enduring and memorable gifts! ( My email is soniahale1@gmail.com.)
