Oil portrait of girls

I can finally reveal this portrait of my sisters girls. I painted it for our parents as a Xmas gift. Although it was posted from South Africa to Europe on 14th December, may parents received the painting only the beginning of March. I am unsure who to blame- the SA post office or holiday season for the delay, but clearly am happy that the painting reached the target unharmed:)

Here they are:

The process of painting them was somewhat challenging since it is hard to get two kids of that age to look into the camera and pose at the same time. So I had to do some adjustments to the final setup, putting the parts of the different pictures into one. I am quite happy with the result.

Here are some progress photos:

Portrait artist in Cape Town - whats new

Hi!

Wow, it has been quite a bit of time since my last entry in this blog. I have since taken permanent employment position that implies 8 hours working days and leaves much less "painting time" than I would like to have and what I was used to. My bank account however feels a bit better :P


We also have moved to Milnerton as we bought a property here- loads of work!


I do still paint though:)

Fathers Day special - child portraits

International Fathers Day is just around the corner - 15.June' 2014. We seem to put more emphasis on mothers, rather than dads, which I think is not always fair. Kids probably have a stronger bond with mom, because she is there more, but then again, in most cases that is possible because the father is working hard to afford the mom be home...

Let's this year make it special for dads!

I offer a special Fathers Day price R399 for an A3, single child portrait. Oil on canvas.

Fathers day special example:)

Offer valid till 15.June (included).
Deposit of R100 payable on order.
All portraits to be finished using a digital reference photo.
