Pop Portraiture- "Valerie" and "SentryCat" paintings by dkeil

"Valerie"  by dkeil 24x36 on canvas 2011

So what's this?

It's a portrait.

What kind of style is that? 

How should I know- I just painted it. It came out perfect to me. 

Some people have said it looks like pop art. Some have said it looks like anime art.

I say it looks like "dkeil art" when everything comes together right.

She's a smart young lady- she'll tell you all about the axions and their role in the selective reuptake of seratonin. If you can follow along, she'll tell you about many other incredibly complex neurological happenings too; with sketches and word pictures to help it all make sense. She's my sister, Valerie Keil. I love her. Hopefully, all that knowledge won't make her head explode and she'll stay humble and kind. So many people need so much help and she's hoping to assist folks in the mental heath field; certainly a noble aspiration.

So, yeah, I do portraits too. If you want one done, don't be shy- let me know. Whether you want me to work live or from a photo is up to you.  I'd prefer it wasn't just some rush job. It's important to get to know the personality of the one being painted, and portray that in the finished piece.
Just one disclaimer, I don't do nude work. So please don't ask.

Whether a traditional sitting, or from a photo, for a wedding, or to capture a special time in life, I'll make it memorable and enjoyable with a large painting on canvas!
