Although portrait painting is an established tradition, recently there has been a resurgence in its popularity. Art lovers from the UK, US, Australia and Canada want to make a statement about their family for posterity.
Recently, I was interview by the BBC for an article about portrait painting. The article, “A Painting Worth a Thousand Words” features my children’s portrait that was painted 10 years ago by David Goatley.
“When a family commissions a portrait they are expressing the love they have for each other,” Goatley said. “A photograph is a captured fragment of time, a 125th of a second. But a painted portrait expresses the person in their totality.”
