Remembrance Portraits
|
Your loved one is a
special and unique
soul, a work of art.
So remember your
loved one with a
divinely inspired
portrait of them.
You will find peace
and comfort through
this touching and
soulful art. |

“I
started painting at a young age.
Most of my art has been
commissioned pieces because I
enjoyed painting everything, not
just one subject. Then on New
Years Eve in 1998 my only son,
Billy, went home to be with the
Lord. At that moment everything
changed. Every ounce of my
energy was spent on survival,
and my painting ceased.
After 6 months of just existing
I picked up a brush and painted
a portrait of my son. When
I look at his painting I know
the healing begins there, as it
brings me a sense of peace and
comfort. I pray for all of you
who are walking this same path.”
With
Love, Leslie

When you are ordering your
portrait your happiness is my
main concern. I want you to be
completely satisfied with the
finished work of art. It is nice
to meet the person or pet when
possible. If you are unable to
meet or if your loved one has
passed away it is very important
for us to spend time reflecting
on their life, personality, and
character. This in
combination with the pictures
you provide will give me what I
need to create your portrait.
Photographs
Good quality photos are best. I
like to borrow as many
photographs as possible. Of
course I will take care of them
and all will be returned. It is
important to have at least one
good clear picture of the eyes.
Please indicate which picture is
the best color match for hair
and skin.
Excellent portraits can be
created from digital images. If
you choose to send me a CD (jpeg
format) please include one
pre-printed digital image or one
regular photo that you feel is a
true color for eyes and hair.

Timescales
The completion of your portrait
is determined by medium, size,
number of subjects and
current work schedule. It takes
approximately 6-8 weeks.
Please order early if you need
this portrait for a special
occasion.
Price
Estimates
Each portrait is unique and
prices may need to be adjusted
according to special needs or
additional work required.
However the price will always be
quoted upfront and will not
change without discussion and
approval.
Half of the fee is due at the
time of commission. This is an
original work of art for you of
your loved one. It will not be
considered complete until you
are totally satisfied with the
painting. The finished art work
is added to the website and an
image is sent for your approval.
At that time the remainder of
the fee is due. Portraits are
mailed after receipt of full
payment.
