NOTE: I expect to show "cutout" and "construct" paintings at art
shows.. The first will be at the "Art Fiesta" in New Smyrna Beach,
Florida on Feb. 27 and 28 of 2010 - space 170. {For a "Mapquest"
search look for the intersection of Sams Avenue and Julia Street.)

"Cutout", "Outline' and
'Construct' Portraits
(There is no background)
(click on the image for more detail)
The "construction" or "construct" piece combines "outline"
or "cutout" portraits with scenery constructed from mixed media.
There is no background.
The outline portraits are painted in oil on plywood
that has been reinforced with metal to control warping.
Satisfaction is guaranteed
before any payment is
required. If the artist and the customer cannot agree that the
portrait is acceptable, the customer does not have to purchase the
portrait. The portrait would then be the property of the artist.
How long does it take?
You should expect to
wait 6 to 8 weeks for completion of the traditional portrait after an agreement has
been reached. If you want the portrait for Christmas you will need
to order early. The artist will only accept a limited number of
orders depending on the available time.
A beautiful portrait can be created from your favorite photo, from a photo that I
take,
or from a composite of several photos. Just the way you
imagine it.
Separate individual photos can be combined to form a group portrait.
Clothing, background, etc. can be changed to create the perfect
portrait.
