Photo to Painting

What is the most important thing about a portrait? It’s a given that it has to look like the person, of course. But one can one go beyond that. Even using only the earthly materials of oil, canvas, charcoal and paper, in the realm of higher aesthetics, one can achieve a spiritual quality that captures the very soul of the person portrayed.

Here on this page, you can get an idea of the quality of the likenesses that Jessica Rockwell accomplishes. From looking at photographs as references, she studies all the best qualities of her subjects to assemble on her canvas. “Photo to Painting” some call it. May it never be the same when Ms. Rockwell takes charge.
