My Biography

Hi, my name is Winifred.

I am commissioned to provide the following services: Portraits, in oil and digitally painted, and find art paintings.

I have closed my online STORE where I sold digital tutorials and online workshops. Essentially, I no longer teach digital art. I focus exclusively on oil painting, and I continue to create digitally enhanced portraits and other digital products for clients.

My passion is creating fine art and heirloom portraits – portraits intended to pass from generation to generation. These portraits possess a high level of emotional content and beauty. More than seeing an image, I want you to feel it. I want it to convey a story about you. Such are the images which remain with us. Such are the images we feel connected to.

Oil Paintings

With the guidance of friends a “home gallery” was created. It’s pretty fun to live in a gallery. Eighty six paintings are currently on my walls and growing! Take a look – click here:

My days are filled with oil painting, primarily portraits and still life paintings. Click Here to access my Blog, and scroll through to see examples of my still life and portrait paintings. I have created many commissioned portraits and a variety of still lifes.

Colorful Portrait 3 – 11×14 Oil Painting by Winifred Whitfield

I’ve attempted a similar style of painting a couple timed in the past. They were smaller – 5×7 and were good – however, I felt I’d only been lucky and felt no confidence in my ability to create such paintings. This painting represents a step forward for me. I certainly feel encouraged to try more. Next time, I hope to use fewer strokes and to make every stroke count.

I said, I’d see you on the other side of the election. Well, we have a new President. As you know, he is not the one I wanted. Courts have determined him to be a RAPIST and a convicted criminal. He’s been twice impeached and documented as a prolific liar and fraudster. Regrettably, e’s completely lacking in character. But, it is what it is. I won’t mention him again – he’s not worth it. I’m here to share my paintings.

Have a great weekend. Winifred
