Portrait Project, Addendum Part 2

6/28/2019

I put the final touches on Jonah's portrait today. So, now my Portrait Project "Addendum" has wrapped up and my Portrait Project is officially finished!

Twins Noah and Jonah are a coordinated set of paintings, meant to be framed separately, but displayed together. I focused on capturing their two different personalities, while also having the pair of paintings still match. They are twins, after all! 

I kept my mark-making loose and free with this pair. Preteen boys are endlessly growing and changing, and always active. I feel that this loose look showcases the idea that these paintings capture but a moment in time.

For Melanie, I really wanted to capture her unique spirit. She has a very interesting personality and was so much fun to paint. Her favorite colors are orange, gray, and chartreuse, which are not common favorites! I was thrilled to incorporate those colors in her portrait. 

Thanks to all of my Portrait Project "Addendum" subjects!

The Portrait Project may be over, but ​I will continue with portraits. Contact me if you're interested in having a custom portrait painted.

If you'd like to take a look at all of the portraits together, see them in my portfolio.
