16”x20” oil portrait of Sgt. Quentin LaVelle Barnett.
This posthumous portrait was commissioned by his cousin, Tondra Williams, as a gift for his father, Retired Sergeant Major Earnest Barnett.
It’s always such a special moment witnessing a client’s reaction seeing their portrait for the first time — I truly get as much joy from their response as they do.
A heartfelt thank-you to my wife and Tondra for making this happen, and to Mr. Barnett for the thoughtful words.
