I must apologize! Some of the photos of my portraits are of poor quality and do not do justice to the
paintings, but I wanted them to be shown anyway. Last names of portraits of children and women are
omitted. Portraits are in no particular order -- a professional service arranged them on this website.
I hope you enjoy viewing my work. -Janis
