Series of family portraits in watercolor

Watercolor portrait from a 1960s era wedding photo by J L FleckensteinWhile I was still living in Los Angeles, a couple commissioned me to create a series of portraits of various family members. First, there was a portrait painted from the grandparent’s wedding photo, which was presented to the grandparents as an anniversary gift.

Then, separate portraits of the couple’s three sons.
These paintings are all watercolors on 140 lb. Arches cold press watercolor paper ranging in size from 20″ x 28″ to 15″ x 18″. All were completed in 2004.
