Pregnant portrait of Yanilda



So a few weeks back I was contacted to do a commission of a beautiful woman who was pregnant and wanted a portrait of her self done before giving birth. This was a first for me and I was very honored to do this portrait for her.






She had a special location in upstate New York at of a huge body of water near Congo,NY. She was supper excited to have her pictures taken and decided to wear some high heels in the process.Since I had no desire on rushing a 8 month pregnant woman with broken ankles to the hospital, I took the shoes away from and shot her standing in the water.



After that was done I completed the portrait 2 weeks later. The painting was done on a 18x24 stretched canvas.
She was very happy with her painting as you can see here in this video sent by her lovely sister.

This particular client, though quite shapely, emphasized in her request her desire to look sexier than she normally is, so I enhanced her best asset. I won’t tell you what feature I chose to enhance, as I’m sure you all will figure it out soon enough.  Below, is the sketch I ...

So a few days ago..what I thought was a client...reached out to me when he found me on #thumbtack a website that caters to artist. The guy gave me a sob story about being in a hospital as a cancer victim, and that he was moving out of the U.S. and wanted to get his wife a birthday gift for their anniversary. yada yada yada.... he sends me a check I got the check with in a few days of sealing the deal...Fedex- ed to my house! I  was rushing to get to the bank before it closed (Saturday) but something seemed off once I opened the package. 1st. red flag ....was the name of the check...the check was under a different name!. I thought maybe it was the guys assistant which he did mention was going to handle his affairs , (since he was in the hospital..) 2nd. red flag was the check paper it self.. The paper itself felt a little light,, and the signature was digitally printed in a different opacity than the rest of the print type. Being a freelance artist for almost 2 de...

[oil painting 20x24 on canvas] Making up a character is a great feeling, but not as great as creating its supporting cast. And in my art work, having sexy delights in front of viewer, lets everyone share in the fun. This painting took about a week from concept to finish.
