Blog / 2017 / Surprise Portrait
June 12, 2017
When I take the reference photos for my portraits, I’m looking for this. It’s important to know what you will and won’t do for commission work, even if you sometimes go back on the rules you’ve determined for your practice. It helps you be more confident when talking with clients and when approaching the whole question of money and art.
You can hire me to paint a portrait for you! There are prints of Lucky Star’s portrait in my Redbubble shop.

Art is the love of other humans made tangible across space and time. When a person can’t get a hug from a friend, art is there to make them feel seen and understood. Please share my work with your favorite people!
Maybe this post made you think of something you want to tell me? I’d love to hear from you.
