Why painted portraits are still practiced today

Many clients choose to commission a custom oil painting portrait from us, valuing the tradition and unique appreciation such a piece can bring. These commissions are often made to celebrate something special —for instance, parents might commission a portrait to commemorate a significant milestone in their child's life, while a spouse may wish to capture and immortalize a cherished moment with their other half. Similarly, pet owners often commission portraits as a tribute to their beloved pets. Many institutions also continue the practice of honoring their donors and leaders with painted portraits, acknowledging their contributions in a timeless and distinguished manner.
