Greetings,

I paint images of costumed women which are partly based on observation. There is much invention in my work, yet all the people who buy my paintings quickly develop a personal rapport with the women in the paintings. Everyone thinks of them as portraits.

I have done very few "intentional" portraits, but I would like to specialize in painting portraits of costumed women.

I especially like the idea of the sitter posing with her pet (in the formal style of Renaissance portraits). I have done some paintings in this vein.

Would anyone know if there are other artists who paint this type of portrait?
