Create an Heirloom
Commission a portrait of your children, grandchildren,
spouse, parents or other loved one, painted in oils on canvas, for your
family to cherish for generations.  Artist
Leslie Ficcaglia works from her own reference photos, spending time
with the subjects to learn characteristic movements and expressions,
and then consults with the client to produce a painting which will be
a work of art as well as an excellent likeness of the individuals portrayed.
Her portraits are characterized by an unusual freshness and spontaneity
which brings her subjects to life. Portrait prices begin at $1000 for
a 16x20" of a single subject.
Accolades
Ficcaglia’s
work consistently receives accolades from a variety of sources. Here
are some reactions to her web gallery from other artists:
- “What
magnificent portraits! Your work is alive with spirit! They are almost
'Rockwell-ish' in their warm portrayal of humanity.”
- “I
just had the opportunity today to look at your portraits and love
them. They are so dynamic. Some of the best I have ever seen. I usually
find portraits stiff and formal. These are alive. The environmental
backgrounds really bring the personalities to the forefront.”
- “Your
website is gorgeous! I love the first portrait. Really incredible
work! I've never quite clicked with the concept of portraiture, but
that first picture explains something new; it’s not about vanity;
it's about identity. What a break-through for me, so thank you!"
