This portrait was a commission by the father of the children you see in this painting. It’s a birthday present for his wife. So, I’ve been waiting for him to give it to her before I reveal it to you.
As you can see, I was going for realism here. I wanted to capture their likeness, and he says I did a great job. He provided me two photos as source material and I joined them together to make a digital composite, which I painted from.
This is the first time I’ve done a portrait commission for someone I didn’t know and who found me online. The painting took a few weeks to complete.
Here’s a really short video of the paintings progression.

This is Tony. He’s the hardworking small business owner of Sunnyside Landscaping. He recently did a large paving job for our family. Excellent work by the way. Our new and old patios look great.
Anyway, one day I was showing Tony around my studio and he saw this painting of the Royal Oak water tower. He talked about how much time his wife would spend there with their kids when they were little. I said that I had done the same with my girls, and that was one of the reasons I painted it.
To make a long story short. Tony’s and his wife are the new proud owners of Water Tower. He got it for her as a gift.
Nice job Tony, and thanks a bunch.
