Welcome

Michael Engel - Family Portrait Artist Specializing in Soft Pastels.

Paintings created from any picture you have or from a sitting.

Throughout history, portrait paintings have been handed down to family members. They make the perfect gift for loved ones. Pastels are long lasting and with proper framing will retain their properties for many centuries.

Webster Dictionary defines an artist as "one who practices an art or one who creates objects of beauty." Let me turn your favorite photos into a work of art.

Soft Pastels are the purest form of artist color, formed almost exclusively from pure pigment with only enough binder to allow them to be formed into useable sticks. They vary from hard to very soft with many variations in between. The extensive colors available allow artists a choice of many subtle color variations.
