Why do hand drawn and painted portraits in the age of photography and mass media? What is the "true portrait" of an individual? Can one image capture everything? What is the place of simple "description" and what of evocative "theater?" What part does the beauty of drawing and color -- by itself -- play in portraiture?
A portrait of someone you know (living or deceased)
Portrait must be personal – convey something about the person being portrayed.
Any size, any media, from a photo or from life.
A portrait of someone you care about
We know you care because of the effort that goes into it

Flatter them with the truth
color, light, pattern and personal objects
