A beautiful custom portrait with one figure (person, pet, landscape, etc.) hand painted from your photo(s) on canvas with top quality oil paints in a 16x20 format. (Image above is for illustration purposes - your order will be custom painted from your photos) Process: Having a custom portrait commissioned is a fun experience. You can commemorate special occasions or be creative by combining multiple images into an original composition. The process starts when you send me your photo(s) and an idea of what you would like painted. I will work with you and make suggestions to improve the painting such as cropping, removing background items, etc. Once we have the composition defined, I'll set up a custom Etsy listing for you to make it easier to check out. Once you're checked out, then we'll start painting! The painting process takes about two weeks. When it's done, I'll send you a proof (high resolution digital image via email) for your approval or requested changes. You may request as many changes as you like until you're totally happy with the painting. When the painting is approved we'll need another week or two for drying and shipping. I ship via Priority Mail and you will receive a tracking number when the painting goes out. Rush Projects: The average project including composition, painting, revisions, drying and shipping takes 4-6 weeks. In rush circumstances, I can get the painting to you in as little as two and a half weeks.

This impressionism landscape painting is boldly striking - Signed LR by Listed artist, Florence Morris -- a 1920's Arts & Crafts era Oil on Board autumn landscape -- heavy impasta -- shades of oranges, pumpkin, browns, russet, reds, and rich Arts and Crafts mission greens and blues -- just gorgeous with master technique of brushstrokes and composition. It looks like it could be the White Mountains where Florence kept a studio. In its original early ornate gold wood frame, very unusual, substantially deep and heavy that photos don't pick up, and in excellent antique condition, see photo's, with the usual bits of wear here and there. It has early black iron corner braces on its back. Condition: Excellent. Being sold from an estate. The original back paper is still there -- I lightly taped the loose parts just to protect it for transport. Measurements appx. framed: 29 1/2" x 24" and unframed: 24" x 18 1/4" Florence Ann Morris 1876 (Nevada, Missouri) - 1947 (Roswell, New Mexico) Born and raised in Nevada, Missouri, Florence Morris became noted for her paintings of Southwest Indians and pueblos, especially scenes of New Mexico, although she traveled to Arizona where she became friends with the Mescalero Apache people. Morris showed early art talent that was so remarkable that when she attended Cottey College in Missouri, the director of the school had an art class outside of the curriculum established just for her. She also attended the University of Missouri. In 1895, when she was 24 years old, she married Richard E. Morris, a teacher. They both taught at Southwest Missouri State University in Springfield, but an illness and childbirth in 1898 led to her quitting the teaching position. In 1912, the family moved to Roswell, New Mexico because of her need for a drier climate. There she became active in the community and did not focus on her art talents until 1925 when she lost her hearing in a flu epidemic. To cope with that circumstance, she took up painting again, and that year studied with Arthur Hammond, a Boston artist who was visiting in Roswell. The next year, she worked with Warren Rollins in Santa Fe and then went to Paris to study with Louis Bregoli, an Italian artist. Returning to Roswell, Florence Morris continued her painting, which included portraits of prominent persons such as New Mexico Governor Richard Dillon; artist Warren Rollins; and Will Rogers, famous cowboy entertainer. This painting hangs at the Claremore, Oklahoma Library. She also gained much attention for her paintings of Native Americans, whom she visited frequently in their pueblos. Among her subjects were the people of the Santa Fe, Zuni, Hopi and Acoma pueblos, and she also did landscape scenes and still lifes, often working from a studio she kept in the White Mountains. Exhibition venues included the Museum of New Mexico, Galeria d'Art du Montparnasse in Paris, and the Washington DC Society of Independent Artists.

The only book that lets artists explore the highest levels of realistic oil painting.


As more and more artists today look to the past, there has been a tremendous resurgence of interest in painting realistically—in creating convincing illusions of three-dimensional depth on two dimensional surfaces.

Traditional Oil Painting answers those questions and many more. This comprehensive sourcebook explores the most advanced levels of oil painting, with full information on the latest scientific discoveries. Author and distinguished artist Virgil Elliott examines the many elements that let artists take the next step in their work: mental attitude, aesthetic considerations, the importance of drawing, principles of visual reality, materials, techniques, portraiture, photographic images versus visual reality, and color. Traditional Oil Painting helps artists master the secrets of realistic painting to create work that will rival that of the masters.

Oil Painting

Some of the most popular art instruction books ever written have been based on student notes culled over the years from actual workshop sessions, with all their power and immediacy - and with practical, on-to-one contact between student and teacher. This is such a book. For more than two years, Linda Cateura has pursued teacher / artist David A. Leffel, notebook in hand, as he critiqued the work of students. Linda Cateura's succinct notes capture his insights, philosophy, painting hints, and general comments.

Leffel's classic, painterly, twentieth-century old master style, much in the manner of Rembrandt or Chardin, affords ample illustration of the ideas expressed - through his many paintings, details, demonstrations, and diagrams, almost all in color.

No matter what your level of ability, there is something here to apply to your own work, ideas that will cause you to rething your own ways of painting, hints to save you effort, or solutions to persistent painting problems.
