Why order a portrait from Jonathan Machen?

We are awash in photographs these days, and while it’s true that many of these are precious memories, there are a few that deserve more attention. You know which photographs are the ones I’m talking about! If you have a photo of a loved person or pet, a cherished landscape..let me take that photo and transform it into a work of art.

I have recently been taking more commissions of portraits done from photos, and I would like to let everyone know that you, too, can be the recipient of a work of art that will provide lasting value and meaning. I am excited to announce a new website devoted to this endeavor, jonsportraits.com. In this quick-loading site, that also comes with a payment processing system,  I will show you examples of the choices you can make regarding how you want that special photo to be transformed – in color chalk pastel, pen-and-ink, or pencil.

Current pricing:  Colored chalk drawing on paper, $300. Pen-and-ink, $275. Pencil, $200

I am also able to custom frame any piece you commission, prices start at $200 for the smallest size. Final pricing does not including shipping.

For secure, on-line ordering, please visit jonsportraits.com where you can pay for your portrait over my secure site.
