Charcoal Portraits. For an image: check out this post. Abbey studied at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston- a very good institution. She can do the portraits from life or photos (and if you need a good photo to work from she can do the photo for you).   Prices start at $750 for an 11″ x 14″.

Personally, I love both of these: I love the white background of “Lilly”- it feels very contemporary and light and the drawing of “Roald” (must be a Brit!), is intense and so present. “Roald” was done on tinted paper so you get a sense of him placed in an environment.  But what I like about both of them is that you get a sense of the kids’ focus and personality. She has real talent.
