LaRue Claros, portrait artist I have enjoyed painting portraits for over thirty years.  A portrait should convey much more than physical features so that the viewer feels they know the subject even without having met him or her in person.   I like to see my clients in their own home to get acquainted with their personality and style, but my studio is available for private sittings as well.  You may contact me at abqartstudio@gmail.com to set up an appointment to see my work and studio or to get more information on commissioning a custom portrait or ask about PRIVATE LESSONS (hint - Art Lesson gift certificates make a great personal gift for the creative person in your life!).

   

NEW ARTWORK

She Who Watches (under construction)

In the Scenic Columbia Gorge is a pictograph made by ancient Native Americans of "She Who Watches."  This painting features the pictograph with my interpretation of the human counterpart seated in front.  I will post a photo of the finished painting soon.
