People are fascinating subjects to paint. Although I do other works nothing excites as much as trying to portray an individual. When we meet someone, that person's personality and character are vivid impressions of the individual. A "dead on" likeness is critical but I want my perception of the person to be evident as well. I want people close to the subject to immediately recognize the individual. Much of that recognition is caught in the pose, a familiar gesture, the tilt of the head, or a twinkle in the eye. I try hard to present my subject so he or she is satisfied with the image I have painted. If they aren't happy with the portrait then I haven't fulfilled my responsibility as a portrait artist. They are paying for a fine oil portrait and I want my subject pleased with it.

While the free listings are working just fine for many artists, the Premium Listings, with their additional features and more active presence on the Painter's Keys site, are proving to be more valuable.
