Custom Art Portrait



Here is a 16" x 20" portrait of my son Tavi, done with acrylic on stretched canvas. The painting is based off of a photograph of him when he was almost 2 years old, taken a couple of months ago. I tried to capture his personality with the silhouette and colors, his vibrant yet sweet character, his glowing energy and soft features. You can feel his energy when you look at this painting. There is something very personal and special about original art portraits. It can stay in your family forever and becomes a priceless treasure that your great grandchildren can pass down to their grandchildren. It eternalizes the person and freezes time, and strengthens the family tree. A painting portrait is much more than paint on a canvas, or a face on your wall. It captures the very aura that makes that person unique from anyone else in this world and makes him/her immortal.
