Portrait of Mr. and Mrs. Rex Steno and Family

oil on canvas / 20" x 16" / NFS

DPW

This portrait was commissioned by Mr. and Mrs. Rex Steno for their son's birthday, now an adult in his 30's!

The reference photo I used was from the day of his birth, his favorite photograph. I included their son's childhood treasures-his favorite storybook, Peter Pan; his favorite baseball glove and baseball; and his childhood football.

I used variations of orange and blue, complementary colors to produce vibrancy. I kept my palette warm to bring life and vitality into this portrait-the celebration of new life.

About the Paintings

Each original oil painting is painted from life using the best, permanent, and lightfast oil colors on linen panels or stretched canvas. Drying time varies, but you can expect your painting to be shipped in approximately two to three weeks after it is completed. Your unframed painting will arrive varnished and ready for framing.

Due to variations of color in computer monitors, some slight color shifts may occur on your screen. I take every possible effort to match the colors on the screen to those on the painting.
