Well Sharon, corsets are not in my wardrobe, but I have a few friends who would love them.

Michele: I have a webpage for the first one already up. We have just signed the contract, and done the initial photography. I am going back this evening to reshoot the gentleman's head. The webpage is www.fineportraitsinoil.com/kennedy.htm. I put this up so the client can follow along as I work.

The other portrait is a portrait of a lady who wants to be portrayed as a victorian lady. She has had a dress custom made in the edwardian style of green satin and plans to have all of the props - from the bag to the feather fan to the dance card. I am going to paint her at the bottom of a grand staircase. The painting will be 40x60 inches. I am scared of it at the moment....
