Down in Greensboro, North Carolina, I have had the pleasure of painting Carter Reid and Andrew. What initially was a commission for a pair of Head & Shoulders Pastels was joined by a delightful composition of Carter Reid in his pajamas with his buddy Curious George. The boys are handsome, no doubt, and their parents are crazy about them. One aspect I appreciated about painting for this family was their willingness to depart from the normal expectations that usually exist for portrait style and format. All three portraits are distinct- Andrew's has the full background, Carter Reid's pastel is a vignette, and Carter Reid's oil is a horizontal portrait, in pajamas. Their mother was taken by a previous portrait I had done of a pair of twins in pajamas (see here for image). The portraits complement each other beautiful while each standing strong on their own. It has been a delight working with this family, and I look forward to future opportunities as these boys grow up.
