R.C. Carter Art

PORTRAITS

 
 
This page consists of several commisioned portraits Ron has done over the last few years. It is not our intention to "show off" of course but rather to show two main things. Number one, the quality and realism of Ron's work and second, his versatility. Also, if we happen to entertain you some in the process... (in this virtual gallery), all the better!  :-)
 
Nothing you can think of is too large or too small, too strange or too normal. You want a portrait of it? Just name it and Ron will paint it.
Portrait IDEAS 
How about a portrait of your big boat cutting through the water, your plane coming in for a landing or banking sharply against a large Nimbo Cumulus cloud formation? How about a small fishing boat with YOU in it holding up a trophy large mouth bass? Ya like boxing? How about a portrait of you in the ring, the ref ' holding up your right hand, the world champion belt in your left and your foot placed on the chest of the passed out FORMER world champion? :-)
 
The ideas are endless. Do you play golf? How about a portrait of you having just completed a long drive on a beautiful golf course of your choice?
 
If you can think it up, Ron will paint it... or allow us to help you come up with a special idea that is a perfect fit for just you or a loved one. He will do the less busy, typical "studio" type portrait or one with more content as discribed above... whatever your taste and choice.

A note of worthy recognition:
 
The painting to the left is the result of Ron loving the art of a western art painter by the name of Bill Hampton. This painting, using one of Bill Hampton's prints as a subject, was done as a "study" in oil and in the spirit of the total admiration Ron has for this artist's work. When the painting was finished it was NOT sold. It was given as a gift to a Pastor where Ron attended church several years ago in the lake resort community of  Heber Springs, Ar.
