Magnus McLeod's retrospective self-portrait, representing him 30 years younger. I had no photograph on which to base this portrait, so this is how I remember myself and how I wish to be remembered.My name is Magnus McLeod.  I paint commissioned portraits of loved ones, ancestors and pets, portraying physical features with perfect realism and revealing vividly personality and character.  I  paint electronically because electronic portraits come closest to perfection.  It also enables me to utilize the best source materials available.  For more information on my work and electronic painting, please click Text only.  To see my self-portrait, painted to show what I looked like as an eager, determined, immensely self-confident young man thirty years ago, please click the thumbnail on the left.  I had no photograph on which to base this picture, so it had to be a reconstruction based on how I remember myself and how I wish to be remembered.  Please bear in mind that you will see a 91 KB JPEG, a very low resolution substitute for the 71 MB TIFF original!  To see examples of my contemporary portraits, please click Mike, Harriet, Oohna or Leila.  Victorian Colonel is an example of an historical portrait, and Two Dogs is a memorial portrait of two much-loved pets.  For further insights into my work, please click Sketch of the Artist's Wife.  For a practical example of what I mean by perfection, please click Miniature Armour.  For information on commissioning a portrait, please click Office.  To return to my Home Page, please click Home.
