here you'll find the work of portrait artist, christy talbott, who is still doing what she has done since she was a small child, noticing beauty in the human face and making pictures.
she was always there for me, patient and understanding, the most pleasant person i've ever known. though she was not above mischief! i painted this the year before she died. she was looking out the window in the bedroom i had as a little girl. i remember she was listening to children playing outside.
i took the photo of this portrait before the painting was finished. wish i'd gotten a later photo, but i'm fond of this painting as i felt it captured Campbell's spirit. she's a sweet little girl, very feminine and a little bit shy.
My portraits are commissioned and are

charcoal, pastel and oils. Prices start at $300 for pencil and $1500 for oil. Email me at
