Hello and Welcome!  I'm Rebecca Jo Steelman. 

Here you will see portrait paintings and drawings of people and animals,  designs, and more.   

This is a new website - just published online on August 20, 2008. 

 ~My personal approach to the portaits I draw or paint for persons is this:

There is something very special in having a beautiful portrait of you and your loved ones on your wall, completed by an artists eyes.  I will you do just that for you in good time and for a reasonable price.  I am looking for new and interesting faces which express the incredible diversity of personality and wisdom of God which lives within.  When I am painting the portrait, I feel a connection with the person(s) I am painting, and begin to cherish their spiritual presence in the world.  This is something that just naturally happens from the heart within me, and it helps me to enter into a clarity of representing them which would not be possible without this connection. 

Today, you can commission a painting or drawing of anyone you like - yourself, parents, or children, or even a personal hero from history - whom you would love to see immortalized in artist media on paper or canvas.  If you are interested in a different kind of picture, then please read on and visit my pages, because I am quite versatile.  

You can see pricing for prints and commissions in my Artstore !!

Media I use is mostly Acrylic paints, yet I also work with: 

--watercolor, oils, colored pencil, scratchboard, pen & ink, charcoal, and graphite pencil.

Drawings and print copies are always on high quality acid-free paper.  

Please feel free to communicate with me by way of the Contact Me page if you want a special picture done.  I am very happy to work with you on any reasonable request.
