Heirloom Painting Example 1 BEFORE - By Artist Sharon Strand Sigfuson

Heirloom Painting Example 1 AFTER - By Artist Sharon Strand Sigfuson

This is a layout for a family portrait of my immediate family. All I had of the house I grew up in was the photo of the end of it and my memories. I used several photos of my siblings and parents to put together the age related family grouping and of course the family dog. What the customer needs to do is supply the black and white images good scanned to computer ones printed would do, and then they need to give me ideas on color of hair, eyes etc. Then I create the layout and turn it into a color painting. I am the girl on the right end of the middle row of children.
