| An initial meeting will be arranged at the subject's home or other
agreed upon location. At this meeting, the basic composition of the
portrait (size, pose, clothing type, tone, background, and lighting)
is determined and a series of photographs are taken. This photo session
takes approximately one and one half-hours. At a later meeting the
photos are analyzed and the final decision is made as to pose and
tone of the painting. Sometimes, additional photos may be taken.
The painted image is approximately life size or a little under
life size. Upon completion of the painting, a meeting is arranged
for delivery of the portrait. Posthumous portraits can be created
using available photographs, if the artist deems them suitable for
reference.
The artist will create the portrait and carry out reasonable requested
alterations consistent with his conception and established style.
Paintings are done in oil paints on linen canvas.
