\"Falling\"<\/a>A Grandma\u2019s love<\/h2>\n
I\u2019m very excited to show another recent commission. This one from a bunch of photos taken by a proud grandma. In this case, Cheryle gave me many options and said \u201csurprise me.\u201d I have found, the more latitude a client provides an artist, the better the result. I think a general concept is something we need to agree upon, but giving the artist freedom on how to execute is a formula for success<\/strong><\/a>.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Obviously, I\u2019ve had to learn how to succeed under numerous conditions. If someone gives me a fuzzy b&w, as in my previous post, I have to figure out what it will take to make it beautiful and meaningful. As a portrait artist, I must draw from multiple skill sets. But mostly a draw from a deep love for humanity and the human condition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This one was all pleasure and very little struggle. I think it\u2019s a very warm piece and I\u2019m very proud of the work I did. The blue coat and eyes set apart from the warm leaves creates a strong focus of interest. You can even feel the chill on the tip of his nose. Notice how the leaves lead us around the picture, taking us on a path and pointing towards the face. I like the way he\u2019s reaching for the leaves but not overly concerned about getting one. I really feel like I captured the feeling of joy and wonder as well as a contentedness in his face, from a pic only a grandma could take and a seasoned artist could bring to life. It is an unusual concept for a portrait. Again, I appreciate the collaboration and the latitude I was given.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This is the second grandchild portrait I\u2019ve done for Cheryle<\/span><\/a><\/span>, each a completely different concept, suited to each subject. I love my job and am most grateful to those who have placed their faith in me over the many years I\u2019ve been doing this work. \"\ud83c\udf41\"<\/span>\"\ud83c\udf42\"<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
Here\u2019s what Cheryle said of my portrait of her grandson: \u201cYou captured everything, Rob\u2014the playfulness of the moment, his sweet loving nature. This is more special than I could have ever imagined!\u00a0\"\u2764\ufe0f\"\u201c<\/span><\/div>\n
