Portrait Painting Blog

In two weeks, the United States will choose a new president.  A new administration means new cabinet members and new political appointees.  Many outgoing members of the current administration want an official portrait painted – it’s a tradition that dates back to the beginning of our country.

Unfortunately, a painted portrait can cost upwards of $50,000 – a cost that taxpayers have to pick up.  The Washington Post wrote an article about this practice.

Some artists doing these portraits still demand sittings that can total 30 hours.

Our portrait artists can paint a beautiful portrait from just one photo.  You don’t need to spend $50k to be immortalized in a portrait painting.
