42” x 32” Original Oil on Canvas Artist Coni Belleau Adams $16,000 Value The epitome of oil portraiture and unmatched customer satisfaction, LEON LOARD COMMISSIONED PORTRAITS represents twenty of the nation’s finest original portrait painters to clients across the southeast and nation. Collectively, these oil portrait painters’ individual styles range from a classical realism approach to very loose impressionism. Having a portrait painted in oil on canvas is the essence of portraiture. Leon Loard considers it a privilege to assist and guide its clients in their search of the perfect portrait artist and ultimately ensures that each client invests in a portrait that is simple, convenient and most importantly, perfectly matched to his or her individual taste and budget. Artist Coni Belleau Adams’s illustrious career began in New York City when the Grand Central represented her work. Adams has been a distinguished board member of the New York Metropolitan Portrait Society, the Salmagundi Club, the Artists Fellowship, the American Society of Portrait Artists and the original American Portrait Society, founded by Robert Hubbell. One of America’s most noted female portrait painters of our day, Adams was classically trained at the Art Students League, Parsons, and the School of Visual Arts in New York. Adams has painted such notables as David Rockefeller, Paul Volcker, Winston Groom, Oleg Cassini, two Miss Americas, and several military, federal, and corporate dignitaries. Her commissioned children’s portraits across the United States are too numerous to count. Mentored by noted portrait artist, Robert Bruce Williams, Adam’s style is fluid and painterly, using bold brushwork while still achieving a striking likeness. Reminiscent of an Impressionist master, Adams perfectly marries looseness with accuracy to create her signature style. Adams is truly one of the most prolific portrait artists of our time. Do not miss this opportunity to have her paint you or your loved one in the most classically elegant of all art forms: portraiture. Details: Single subject, up to size 42” x 32” original oil on canvas portrait. Grand manner/full pose child or ¾ pose adult. Portrait value $15,000. Coni Belleau Adams will travel to conduct the initial sitting in the greater Nashville area. Travel value $1,000. Initial sitting must occur within 12 months of purchase. Framing not included. Portrait value may be applied to a larger than 42” x 32” portrait. www.leonloard.com

Fowler studied with Anton Weiss, a well-known Nashville artist and teacher. Weiss is an abstract expressionist who studied under Hans Hofmann, arguably one of the 20th century's finest teachers of modern art. Weiss’ tutelage served to infuse Fowler’s vision with emotion. Fowler’s work began to appear in juried competitions. She sold out at her first solo opening. Fowler’s inspiration comes from the beauty and chaos of nature. Her process begins as an intuitive exploration that starts to reveal itself as the piece moves forward in a sometimes messy and provocative way. The completed piece results in bringing balance and order to the chaos. Fowler’s influences include Helen Frankenthaler and Richard Diebenkorn. The majority of Fowler’s works has been either by commission or sold through private placement. Her work hangs all over the United States.
