I have never thought of portraits like those but have been contemplating the larger photographic ones and the profile ones.

I was always afraid if I did it more modern, that I would grow tired of it - 23 years later, I still love seeing it hanging in my living room!!designchichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814501245552660696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606400921620059943.post-45297664217074385872012-02-21T21:21:37.185-05:002012-02-21T21:21:37.185-05:00Wow!

I like the more modern options too Traci, I think if I were starting with the first child today I would have gotten sepia sketches done of all my children but starting with Walker 20 yr. ago, oil was the way to go then, hopefully they will still be hangable 50 years from now!

The portraits of your children are just beautiful, Lisa!
