Oil Painting

How can I get an oil painting of myself?

Father's Day is just around the corner and I would like to get my husband something extraordinary for his first Father's Day. I would like to have an oil painting of myself with our daughter, but I haven't a clue how to go about getting this done.....Is it expensive? Any referrals for the DFW Metroplex?

Well, I have found that there are many portrait artists online that work well from photographs. Some work in pencil, some in oils...Do an engine search of portrait artists and I am sure that you will find an amazing amount of artists out there...check out their websites and their pricing and contact a few. Or, you could even check around and see if there is any local talent such as the yellow pages, or check at any galleries. If you decide to use the internet as your source, make sure that you use good clear photographs, describe exactly what you want, and make sure that you tell exact eye color as in some photographs, it is hard to tell. The pricing doesn't seem too bad, I saw a few that charged about $200-$400 for a 16x20 portrait...so do some shopping...one website called www.portraitkingdom.com guaranteed your portrait in 10 days or it was 10 percent off...I do portraits as a hobby for friends and family and they just love them so they do make great gifts.
Good Luck.
