Portraits by Vennie Beeler

"I typically paint children and adults in a personal setting. If they are involved in an activity, I like the viewer to look at the painting and perhaps envision what may happen next. If the child is eating an ice cream cone, will it eventually drip on to the table and down the child's arm? I like the painting to show something about the person's life or catch the individual's personality."

All portraites in the galllery are commissioned work and no prints, note cards or copies are available. Portraits are done primarily in oil or acrylic.
