Portrait Painting- Fine Art!

I recently have teamed up with Cynthia of  Feustel Fine Arts, to offer a product to my boudoir and portrait clients, that I’m absolutely ecstatic about!  This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and when Cynthia came to me, and I saw her amazing talent, I knew she was the one I should work with.  Right away, Cynthia went to work on one of my favorite boudoir photos, taken of  Ms. L a little over a year ago.  When I went to pick up the painting, I never imagined that I would have the reaction and emotion that I did when I first got to see it, I got all choked up!  For the first time, I think I finally got to see the real art and beauty behind my boudoir photos, and again it made me realize the reason I do this. It’s obviously to make a living, it’s definitely for the joy of capturing moments in someones life and making them feel beautiful, but is absolutely and by far the most rewarding to do this for the love of art!

I can’t even begin to explain how stunning this painting is! I have posted photos of the actual photo taken, and then a couple of photos of the painting itself below.  The photo is a 36×36, glorious piece of art, and I’m so honored to show it off and to work with Cynthia on this collaboration!

Cynthia has recently started to get much deserved recognition for her paintings. She was a finalist in the Salon International 2010 Juried Exhibition (Greenhouse Gallery, San Antonio, TX), International Artist Magazine Competition (Aug/Sept 2010 issue), RayMar Art’s Fine Art Competition (June 2010), “Inspiring Figures” Exhibition (Butler Institute of American Art, Youngtown, OH) and Oil Painters of America 2010  Western Regional Show(Mountain Trails Gallery (Jackson, WY).

You must visit her website and  her blog, to see more of her amazing work!  The really cool part about all of this, is that all of my packages will now have a $500 painting credit towards a Cynthia Feustel Fine Arts original.
