Malayka Gormally

I stumbled across Malayka Gormally recently while surfing for west coast portrait artists. Of the artwork she's got posted online I greatly admire her work with oils.

Going through her bio list of previous clients you can't but help notice that she's greatly appreciated.

Her work with younger subjects is without a doubt one of her strengths. You can take a look at Malayka Gormally's site here.

Her fees for oil portraits start at the $5,000 mark.

Finished!

Still juggling a huge amount of projects and deadlines but managed to finish the portrait for the young couple.

I'll be posting this later today to the client  who wishes to frame it herself.

Right,  on with the next project!

Portraiture Commission for Married Couple

Managed to get a bit more done since this morning. Hopefully I'll be able to get the finishing touches done today.

Working on facial details and added depth.

New Portrait Commission

I've been given a new commission, a present for a young, newly married couple.
Black and white portrait 22"x30" of the two while out on their world travels.

I've a lot on my plate right now but I've made a start on the project and thought I'd upload the first couple of images.
I'll try to finish it this afternoon or by tomorrow morning if I can.

Melanie Phillips & Nicholas Beall

I was forwarded the website of pet-portraitartist.com as something to take a look at. I'm glad I took the time to browse their site. Both artists have a great ability to capture their subject's essence, in this case pets, without being clinical or gauche like so many other pet portrait artists.

Take a look at their wonderful site here.

Prices for a 30"x24" portrait start at 1,600 pounds sterling (approx $2,400) but is well worth it considering the quality of art. Also as a neat feature they also offer a framing service, something unusual in the online portrait business world.

Marvin Mattelson, Portrait Artist

I stumbled over Mattelson's work seven years ago. I love his instinctive style and perpetual ability to paint a person's character. Please do take a look at his biography here and do definitely take a sneak peak at his portfolio here. I think Mattelson has a lot to offer, his skill as a portrait artist speaks volumes.

Check out his attention to detail and the feel of his subjects! Exceptional!!
