A painted portrait captures a person's image in a more complex way than a frozen-moment photograph. A reference photo is helpful, but just that - a reference. See how this portrait was created from a combination of a sitting and a reference photo. The picture on the right is the original study.

 Arrange a sitting for a custom oil portrait by Jean Binkovitz. Contact the artist at FinePortraits@yahoo.com or phone 614-364-4211. Sittings available in New Albany, Ohio or by special arrangement in Rochester, Minnesota or Bethesda, Maryland.  Sittings usually require two days. The finished portrait is available later, usually within a few weeks. I also enjoy viewing portraits by other artists, including those in the galleries of Geary, Craigshead, and the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.
