When I do a commissioned portrait, I like to spend time with the subject if I can. Getting to know a the subject can really aid in getting expressions just right. The artist's eye many times sees that special something that identifies the person and makes the portrait come alive. Some my portraits are studies of old master's work. These have been very instrumental in helping me define a style of my own.
