Hello Richard, good speaking with you this morning. Today the hand painted version of your parents portrait was completed. Painting from a photo in the style of Traditional Fine Oil is our specialty. Again, you have no obligation here - but we strongly felt the photo you sent would be ideal for a painted portrait. The subjects, your parents, definitely have an unmistakable elegance about them that is quite obvious. Our portrait is more colorful and quite a bit brighter than your original photo. In a portrait like this age lines in the face are also reduced to flatter the subjects without looking contrived. Please use the ZOOM tool to get a closer look and see the Artists brushstrokes. We propose you consider this painted version as an alternative to the original photo and that the minimum size be either 11x14 or 16x20. Looking forward to your thoughts....
