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.
i feel guilty working on a painting of lilah when i am still behind on commissioned portraits. i do have an excuse for this though! i was trying something new for one of my jr. achievement portraits this year, painting on gessoed panel instead of stretched canvas. but i didn't much like the gessoed panel! just not used to working on it i guess... i didn't want to waste it and thought it might be fun to experiment, so here is lilah!
My portraits are commissioned and are
mainly of children done in pencil,
charcoal, pastel and oils. Prices start at $300 for pencil and $1500 for oil. Email me at
talbott.christy@gmail.com for further details in commissioning a portrait.
