Judicial Portrait Artist

Since 2016, Richard Quindry has been painting classical-style portraits for courthouses and municipal buildings, using techniques inspired by Vermeer and other Renaissance artists. Over two doozen of his commissioned portraits now adorn the walls of courthouses and municipal buildings.

Rich takes all the photographs that form the basis for his paintings. He is an internationally recognized commercial photographer who can light and photograph people in a flattering way. That way, he can be assured that the final piece will have the lighting quality he wants. Portrait sittings typically take less than two hours, saving his subjects significant time.

Rich usually takes over a hundred photos that he uses for reference.
He posts these proofs to a private website, where subjects can choose the image to provide their preferred viewpoint and expression that portrays how they would like to be remembered. Rich can create highly detailed yet flattering and engaging likenesses of his subjects using the selected image as a guide. Because he works from professional photos as his guide, his images capture nuanced body language, lighting, and details that few artists can portray.
