Well, on morning my husband, Howard and I were lingering over our breakfast cup of coffee when he surprised me by saying he would like to have a portrait of me, similar to the one of his Aunt Bea who was displayed on the wall in our bedroom. His Aunt Bea was his mother’s sister and was beautiful as a young women and it showed in her picture. The frame was oval and it especially appealed to my husband. If we decided to go ahead with this exciting project it would be done in a oval frame.

This client had told me that Aapo and his beautiful wife were close family friends and that Aapo was a remarkable portrait artist. She just raved about some of the beautiful portraits that he had done of her children over the years, and promised to bring photos of the paintings next time she came to see me. True to her promise, the next time she came, she brought shots of some of the pictures. I was blown away.

These three portraits are the absolute best gift we have given ourselves!The first portrait we had done was for Laura’s sixteenth birthday. I think we had in mind to do each of them at age sixteen, but after living with her likeness for a few months, we knew we didn’t want to wait that long to have Billy and Sarah join her on the livingroom wall.

The Art of the Portrait. Masters Showcase. Aapo PukkMy subject is a mime. An actor from the street of Venice in Italy. He is standing inside an improvised column that is really a veneer box, imitating marble. He is wrapped in a bed sheet with folds and creases in it. His face is covered with a thick layer of paint.
