Item Description

Artist Lulu Wilson offers to create a one-of-a-kind portrait of your child, in your choice of oil paint, charcoal, or pastel.  After a personal consultation, during which she will meet and photograph your child as well as determine your preferred pose, she will create a finished portrait of approximately 18" x 22".

Artist Statement:

My primary goal when I approach a painting surface is to make a unified image which balances subject, aesthetic, and the visible intent: The visible intent, to me, is the truth of the picture. This truth is what everyone else is able to see but the artist herself has to struggle to see. If a picture is too academic then to me it fails to be art, in the sense that the intent when painting the picture was mostly, or overbearingly, technical.  I place immense personal value on the evolutionary nature of art in the sense that within all its riskiness is all its possibilities, both materially and intellectually.

 

Item Special Note
