Fine art portraits
are one of the most valued possessions you will ever own. The legacy of exquisite family portraits will give pleasure to you and your descendants far into the new millennium. Lasting tributes to leaders in the corporate world, government, religion and education are made permanent through portraiture in oil. "Masterpiece Portrait Painting by LaVon" offers you original hand painted oil portraits; the most noble and ancient of all the arts.

The soul of creativity
begins with inspiration. LaVon draws inspiration from the inner beauty of each unique individual. She has the rare gift to define the subject in a deeply personal way through brush strokes, color and composition. LaVon reaches beyond the physical likeness to illuminate personality and spirit. Paintings are rendered with such vitality that her subjects appear on canvas as a living moment in time.

For over three millennia
fine homes and important public buildings have defined themselves through art and architecture, sculpture and portraiture. Today the portrait painting is enjoying a renaissance as the focal point of modern decor. No other item in a room commands as much attention as a museum quality oil portrait.

 Anyone who is loved
and respected deserves to be immortalized by the oil portrait. The precious innocence of a child is one of La Von's most beloved subjects. Her bridal portraits sing with a timeless elegance. Executive portrait paintings combine bold power with individuality. Even treasured pets are deserving subjects. As the memory of special moments fade, the oil portrait remains a bright and beautiful  remembrance of those we honor.

The authentic realism
and rich luster of La Von's timeless paintings will leave you in awe. Deep warm colors and exquisite detailing define their classic nature. These marvelous oil paintings are inspired by the Old Masters, especially Peter Paul Rubens, Anthony Van Dyck and Rembrandt.

Elegantly casual lifestyles
and settings may call for a more Impressionistic style of painting. La Von also creates works that are vibrant, airy and light with paint lavished on the canvas in careful abandon.

Each hand crafted portrait 
is painted with meticulous care and precise execution using the finest European oil paints and canvas. Elegant picture frames in gold or silver leaf on solid woods are offered to compliment each finished painting.

The image of your dreams
will be designed by you and the artist. Then professional photographs will be taken to give you a choice of pose and expression. Tedious hours of sitting for the artist are no longer necessary.          

Treasured photographs
from the past may also be transformed into fine portraits in oil. Your family or corporate heritage is worth an heirloom of distinction.

My personal thanks
goes to the professional photographers whose excellent work is the basis for the oil paintings shown in the following pages.
