Charcoal Portraiture by Artist James M. Berger 
~ Commissions Accepted

 

Below you will find a small example of my work.

Hardwood panels are used, in lieu of canvas on the pieces measuring under 24"x36", to avoid any tears or rips. 
Canvas/paper is vulnerable to rips etc., as well, paper needs to be framed/displayed behind glass, which may cause glare while viewing. 


Most of the work shown below were precursors to finished oil paintings, though some stand quite well on their own.

All subject matter will be considered. Land/Seascapes, Human and animal portraiture and although not my favorite subject, architectural subjects are occasionally taken on successfully.
I'll do my very best to usher your vision into reality.

If a custom work of fine art is something that is of interest to you, don't hesitate to get the process started.
Also, if you are interested in purchasing a work that is displayed below, ask.
Giclee' reproductions of the pieces, either upon thick, archival, fine art paper or canvas, can be produced to order. In various sizes to accommodate your display requirements.

Email inquiries may be sent to jim@artworkbyjim.com where we can discuss what you have in mind.
My easels fill up fast and each work takes 3+ months to complete, dependent on complexity and individual variables etc.

Thanks very much for your interest in my work and enjoy a blessed day.
Jim
