Portraits for The Roeder Sisters

Last month, I was commissioned by one of three sisters (center), to do individual portraits of all them as a Christmas gift to her parents. Here they are!

(There was another request that I can't reveal yet as it's a secret gift.)

I was given snapshots of other works I've done that had inspired the client as a guide and I couldn't be happier that she liked my personal style.-- and I was to go for a whimsical look.

When I get portrait requests, I'm always focusing on capturing the true likeness of the person, so I'm glad she sent more than one photo of each sister.  I like the people in my art to look like they are breathing, ya know?

I was so taken aback with the response I got after I was told they arrived in the mail. Thanks, Audrey!

They are all mixed media on  6" x" 6 watercolor paper.
