& Corporate Portraits Bookstore
The painted portrait has long been a tradition of love, honor and respect.
It is not a photograph, nor is it produced by a machine; rather, it is unique
piece of original art, rendered by the artists' hand.
The portraits in this book primarily represent commissions I have completed
in recent years, yet also include a number of samples as well as portraits
I've painted sheerly for my own pleasure.

pricing, marketing, photography of both subjects and art - and most importantly,
a structure within which each artist can develop a customized business plan.

topics are presented in a shorthand form, meant to stimulate discussion in
the workshop setting.
