This 24 x 30 inch portrait was painted as a custom commission, built around the client's own personality rather than a single reference photo. A halo of hand-painted flowers — roses, dahlias, and wildflowers in saturated color — frames a candid, laughing expression, with bold green sunglasses adding a playful, contemporary edge against loose, painterly brushwork.

Working from photos and conversation with the client, the artist translated personality into color and composition rather than a strict likeness — bright, expressive, and full of motion.

This piece has already found its home, but it's a clear example of what a custom commissioned portrait from a local Las Vegas artist can look like. If you're interested in a portrait built around your own story, color palette, or personality, reach out to discuss a commission.
