Internationally collected artist, Liz van der Werff creates portraits in oils, pastels, watercolor and acrylic - -

Liz is a colorist, bordering on impressionism. Her portraits are mastepieces of subtle color that does not translate well to the internet. The images on this website DO NOT SHOW THE TRUE QUALITY of the portraits - to understand how much has been lost during the transfer to the internet, please read the customer's comments!
The close-up pictures are a bit better, but they are still not as good as the actual portraits.

This is only a small sampling of the many portraits that I have painted. Most are not on the internet. I don't have time to update my website as much as I would like. Only those on my email list get to see my more recent works.

Would you like to see new paintings as I complete them?

Boy

Oil on Canvas

This was a wedding gift for a couple. They are very active and wanted something more contemporary than a 'standard' portrait

Wedding Portrait

Oil on Canvas - 16" x 20"

"You should have seen the bride and grooms faces when they saw their portrait! The faces of everyone who saw your work, displayed up there . . . when they looked close to the detail, the little glint hidden in Kristen's eyes, and Martin's exact ... and I mean ... EXACT smile! They all knew it was special! Really unique, and a gift to be treasured forever" . . . V.C.
