My friend, Stephanie Nielson, asked me to paint portraits of her four wonderful children. I decided to do four paintings that will fit together as one painting. Here you can see some photos of the process of this project. If you are interested in commissioning a portrait or painting, please contact me through the contact page of my website.

I finally finished this painting for Stephanie. Well, I finished painting them at the end of 2011 but I am just now posting them. I am happy with how they turned out. The final painting was photographed by David Hawkinson Photography. David does an excellent job at photographing artwork. I have a lot of photography experience but I just can't quite get a good photo of a painting like he does. I hope that Stephanie and Christian love it. Sorry Stephanie, your new baby will have to be in a new painting.
