Artist Statement
When we hear someone say “Loved One” a lot of us think of our pets too. The unconditional love they bring to us every day earns a special place in our hearts.
A special gift to others (or even one to give ourselves) is a portrait of our pet. To see the expression on their face and to see that special personality brought out will bring a smile to our face every time we see the picture. Joanne Woodward is an artist that specializes in Animal Portraits. Don't have a pet but would prefer a Portrait of your other Loved One - husband, wife, children, parents or grandparents? All work is created from looking at clear quality, close up views in a photograph (sized 3"x5" or larger) and is done free-hand in Pastel and Charcoal/Carbon.
Thank you for looking at my work! I would be happy to create a special Portrait for you. First of all you can be assured you won't receive a "sketch"!! Or an abstract painting of something that might or might not remind you of what you hired me to create for you. I pour my creative spirit into each and every portrait I do and I want you to be pleased with the quality of the work and be proud of it when you show it to your family and friends. Click on the Gallery link and you can look at other portraits I've done and that will give you an idea of how your work will turn out.
Please email me directly at [email protected] , or email me from the CONTACT page, or call me on 918.850.5080. If I don't answer straight away I'm probably busy working on a portrait. Leave your number and a brief message and I will call you back just as soon as I can.
In addition to purchasing an original portrait, many customers like to give prints, notecards and calendars for birthdays and holidays too. Gift Certificates are also a great way to let others choose the pose they want to see - it's a popular gift for parents and grandparents!
