BEAUTIFUL BOY by Bee Skelton

BEAUTIFUL BOY
Acrylic on canvas
by Bee Skelton
This is an example of one of my commissioned portraits, completed just before Christmas. I'm a daily painter, but certainly don't complete a portrait in one day. I find I need many hours over several days to get to know my subject and even when using photos as a reference, this is still the case. I search to find that expression or look to the eye which makes that person unique then I work away no matter how long it takes until I've translated it onto the canvas as best I possibly can.
Work in progress images can often be seen on my Blog.
Other paintings at various times are available on Ebay or Etsy or Dawanda.
You are welcome to email me for information or discuss commissioning a portrait from your own photos.
