The Inspiration

A Lifestyle Portrait’s inspiration comes from the landscape of someone’s life. Unlike a conventional portrait where the face is the primary subject, a Lifestyle Portrait is a watercolor pictorial drawn from someone’s life experiences.

Whether it portrays a memorable time, place, or event from the past or of the present, it is a story from life that is told in a vivid and captivating watercolor painting.

With Lifestyle Portraits, the artist, Jim Christopher has created a new perspective that employs elements of impressionism with a delicate attention to detail.

The sparkle and clarity of watercolor is well suited for illuminating the visual magic and originality of a Lifestyle Portrait.*

A Lifestyle Portrait is a distinctive choice for personal or professional gifting.
