Abraham Lincoln - Decorating with Portraits

abraham lincoln art Abraham Lincoln Portrait 5 feet by 6 feet acrylic on unstretched canvas SOLD
I originally painted this wall-sized, black and white portrait of Abraham Lincoln just for the fun of it. I like the whole idea of using an iconic image in decorating. Most artists paint contemporary figures but, in this case, I wanted to paint the image of our 16th President which carries echoes of our historical past. I am looking forward to seeing a photo of the painting in its new home.
Your client may have a favorite person they may like painted. On a couple of earlier blog posts you will see interior decorated home with the Fed chairman Ben Bernanke and another post showing Jimi Hendrix. Whether it is a painting of a family member or that of a favorite iconic figure the luxury of painted portrait enhances a home's décor. Take look of the different portraits on the link on the left sidebar.
