This is a photo of me at my portrait exhibition in 2018.
“Alla Prima” direct painting method.

Portrait Painting

The portraits below are completed using the alla prima direct method, Italian for "at once", which simply means the painting is completed in one sitting. I work from live models in my studio or events and find so much joy as well as the challenge completing these portraits. Sizes below range 16''x20-24’’x 30''. Enjoy!
