Rory

Artist comment:  “This portrait of Rory was commissioned by her family, to carry on the tradition of capturing the family’s two year olds going back generations.  We had one photo shoot, and even though she was a very busy little girl, I managed to capture a perfect pose.  But her expression was not as perfect, and her mom took photos for three (!) months and finally got the perfect expression!  I combined the two photos and finished the portrait, and I’m so glad that her family is happy with it!

Bob

Oil on linen, 30×40″

Artist comment:  “This portrait of Bob Quillin was commissioned along with the portrait of his wife Vanessa, as a surprise gift to her in 2022.  Bob & Vanessa are wonderful members of the community, and were awarded the Outstanding Philanthropists Award by AFP Oregon & SW Washington in 2020.  They are also avid travelers, and their portraits are hanging in their home in Portland Oregon to celebrate memories of their favorite hotel and view in Miami, Florida.  It took over a year to finish the paintings, but I’m glad they like them!”

Client comment:  “Thank you…thank you…thank you Diane!  We LOVE them!”

Barry Caplan

Oil on linen, 24×30″

Artist Comment:  “This painting was a commission to honor Barry Caplan’s 50th year at the Sussman Shank Law Firm in Portland OR.  It was an honor to paint his portrait for this occasion.  The photo shows Barry and his wife’s first reaction to the painting, and you can see his wife wiping away tears, which is very moving for the artist (me) to see.  It means I did my job!  I’m so glad they are happy with the portrait!”
