Why A
Portrait?
First
of all, an oil portrait should be a beautiful painting which one treasures
for its drawing, its colors and its composition. It also represents a
special time or event in the life of the subject.
Parents like to remember their children as they
were before launching into their teenage or adult lives. Adults may choose
to freeze the moment of a special occasion for themselves, their family or
their friends. Sometimes a beloved friend or relative who is no longer
here can be recaptured on canvas from photographs.
Whatever the reason, the portrait becomes more
treasured over time and probably for several generations.
