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.  When I first began painting electronically, my wife sat for me for about twenty minutes.  The resulting sketch captures to perfection her penetrating, objective, yet loving interest in people.  No photograph has ever done this.  I was at once captivated by electronic painting, and now would never draw or paint any other way.  To see her eyes from my sketch, please click the thumbnail on the left. To see examples of my portraits, please click Mike, Harriet, Oohna or Leila.  For an example of a portrait showing the subject thirty years younger, please click Self-Portrait.  Victorian Colonel is an example of an historical portrait, and Two Dogs is a memorial portrait of two much-loved pets.  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.
