This type of mixed media portrait is what I offer my clients when they are looking for a different take on a portrait for themselves.

The maritime themed piece incorporates my love for architectural renderings and the sea and how the tension between the linework and fluid acrylic wash marries into one space.

You can purchase this original painting here.
