Commissioned Portrait Painting of Carla

Here is a commissioned custom portrait painting that I particularly had fun creating. First I had the pleasure of painting Carla and her brother in 2003. She was 12 and he was 14. You can see them in the related posts and pages below. Then their mother wanted a separate portrait of each of them at 18. We took the reference shots for George and I painted his portrait in 2007. When it came time for Carla’s portrait there was always some trip or she was off at school or doing other different interesting things that delayed the portrait.  I really thought it wasn’t going to happen and then it did! This year! Isn’t she beautiful at 25!? "The portrait is exquisite! Jessica has been able to convey my daughter’s warmth, strength, and beauty … inside and out. I will treasure it always."  — her mother "I am so pleased with the portrait and appreciate Jessica’s attention to detail. It was a relief to see that the portrait looked like me!" — Carla Grandchildren, anyone?  */:~J. Related posts and pages: Fine Art Portrait of Carla and Her Brother
