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.
With summer vacation nearly over, I'll be trying to regularly add to this blog again. Many portraits have been completed over the past year which I haven't yet shown. Here is a preliminary drawing in charcoal- a detail for a full-length oil.
Lilah and I met Mr. Wilcox at his green home a week or so ago. We'd never been in a home with sod on the roof and chimney coming out of the grass. He's an organic farmer as well as musician. Wish I'd videotaped the first song he sang which was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes!
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.
