A portrait of someone you love in the Palette Knife style
Paint laid on with a knife in flat, ridged planes of high colour — the style that shows the raised surface best, from $69.
What Palette Knife does with a portrait. The face in wide knife strokes of high colour — bold and modern, best for one person or a couple rather than a group, where the simplification would lose the smaller faces.
The photo. Daylight, eyes visible, the face filling a good part of the frame. Older, scanned or slightly blurred photos usually work at 8×10 to 16×20. We never smooth, slim or retouch a face.
The size. 16×20 in a hallway; 24×36 for a single face over a console table or a mantel.

A person checks the full-resolution proof and you approve it before anything prints; if it isn't right, we repaint it free.
