Have your portrait painted! Come for a private sitting at Joellen Adae’s studio and have your portrait painted. Modeling is easy – just getting comfortable and relaxing for an hour or so – but requires the sit-still capabilities of an adult or teen. Joellen works in oils, and the painting will be a bust (head andshoulders) on a 14 x 11-inch canvas. Do it for fun and posterity, and build your family’s art collection in the process!
