The lady commissioning this portrait painting, having a lovely Victorian home, wished her portrait to be of herself as a Victorian Woman. She supplied photos of herself and of the gown you see in the painting and chose to be painted to the waist with blended color background.
This is a fine example of how a vintage portrait painting can be created from photos which are more modern. The lady loved the portrait and said, "I truly appreciate the time you took in creating my portrait. It is beautiful. I am very pleased." See Pricing Art Info.
Vintage Painting - Child Portrait
For this custom portrait painting, the family supplied a vintage studio photo of the family's father when he was a child. It was their wish that he should be painted as seen - a full standing figure (full figure portrait) with studio background in modified sepia color tones, painted in acrylic on 16 x 20 canvas.
This is a fine example of a Vintage Children's Portrait painting from a photo, a very old studio photo, taken many years ago.
