It's Finished!

This is the second best thing about painting a portrait...signing your name.
The best thing is when you pull the velvet drape off the portrait and all the guests and the subject go...AAAaaaaaa!
If you like the portrait, you're welcome to post a comment back...AAAaaaaa!

  1. Wow - another masterpiece! When you scroll down and look at the earlier stages and then look at the finished piece, it is alive with movement! Congratulations. Your client will be thrilled.

  2. Bob, I'm curious. When did you discover you were an artist? Were you painting when we were in High School or was this something you took up later in life. Whatever, you are really good at what you do. Thanks for share your art with us.

About Me

My photo
My name is Bob Shepherd, but when I paint I'm known as "Shep". I love to paint people. Happy people. Sad people. People dancing. People in contemplation. Old people. Young people. Lately I've gotten into painting new things and I'm enjoying the challenge. Flowers and still life's have been fun. My blog is here to show you what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I'm doing your commission you can follow the progress of your "PortraitbyShep". If you'd like me to do your portrait please notify me through the blog. Please enter your email above and I hope you enjoy the blog. Shep
