Historic Portraits

While I do not think of myself as a portrait artist, I do occasionally paint figures from the past. In some cases, I have painted clients in the clothing of the time period they find most fascinating.  In other instances, I have recreated client's ancestors, which can prove challenging but also quite rewarding.
