“Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself.”
― Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
When I read this quote I immediately thought of Eric. So much of Eric’s character is revealed in his portraits.
You can see that every stroke of paint is exactly where it should be – detail is everything.
You can see that Eric puts a lot of care into each portrait – it usually takes weeks to complete. It shows how much he cares about the person he is painting.
Eric loves to give the portrait as a gift. He loves to see the reaction when the person sees their portrait for the first time.
Eric did this portrait of me recently and gave it to me as a gift.
He often says “I love you, and God loves you too.” I think he really wants people to see their own beauty.
I love how this post highlights the heart behind every piece and celebrates the beauty of personal expression. It reminds me that great art isn’t just about skill, but about sharing love and meaning. If you’re inspired by his journey, consider the value of offering quality painting services with heart and purpose.
