I am a digital artist specializing in painting portraits. I enjoy using photos posted on Stock.xchng for practice. I always get permission if the photographer has requested it and I follow all the copyright rules.
If you would like to me to paint a portrait for you, please e-mail me or message me here. Depending on workload and time, I may be able to paint your portrait for you. Many people have them printed on canvas and framed to hang in their homes!
