Have you always wanted a professional oil painting of your favorite family members, or a special someone? Send Carol Lee a good quality photograph to insure the outcome of a fine quality oil portrait. If perhaps your photograph has excessive dark or light tones, Carol can eliminate them in the oil painting. Upon request, Carol can also add a background color to the oil portrait that blends well with your décor. You may consider providing the artist with two or three different photographs of one special person that you wish to have hand-painted, such as a profile view, half view, and full view.  Carol can combine each view  in one highly unique oil portrait.  You may have photographs of 2 or 3 favorite people that can be united together in the final finished oil painting.  Black and white photographs can also be hand-painted in color.  You can  e-mail  Carol Lee the information (such as color of eyes, hair, etc), and she will add the specified color details into the new oil portrait.

*Oil Custom Portraits can be head & shoulders only, or full length. Canvases are available in a variety of sizes ranging from 16"x 20" to 4 ft. (Special requests for larger pieces.)  Allow 4 to 8 weeks for the artist to complete the oil painting project. Carol must review your photograph selections and know the size of the canvas you want before a specific price quote can be determined. Your questions will promptly be answered by way of e- mail.
