Erebus, oil painting portrait by Matthew Rush Elmore.

Immortality, painted in oil

Oil portraits survive centuries or more. Photos will fade, digital images will ultimately vanish, degrade, or become obsolete, disappearing into oblivion sooner than we realize. Yet, a framed painting transcends generations. It lives, occupying space, shifting with light and texture, existing beyond the sterile glow of electronic screens, like old friends and family we can return to at any moment, when we choose simply to turn our eyes and behold them. 

Whether a unique gift for someone special, or a way to immortalize yourself for your descendants, a portrait in oil is timeless. Please see some examples below and feel free to reach out for a quote.
