4.0 out of 5 stars
After a more careful review, I now rate it 3+ stars!
My other review was too harsh. I'm afraid I initially expected a book geared to painters of portraits rather than viewers of portraits. I've since had an opportunity to spend some time with the book and it wears well. Sorry painters and editor.

A better title would be "Mediocre Portrait Painting"
The book is a disappointment. The paintings are well reproduced, but for the most part they are undistinguished, pedestrian pictures by new and [one hopes] developing artists. Not master of the genre is represented. No Kinstler, no Sanden, no David Green, no Gordon Wetmore, no Jack Beal, nobody. Sorry, there are better coffee tables books available. No John Singer...

This review is from: The Best of Portrait Painting (Hardcover)
I felt that some of the portraits were not up to the quality that Rachael Wolf usually selects in some of her books. There was alot of oil painting examples and I would have liked to see some more colored pencil, watercolor, and pastel examples.

I bought this book for inspiration and ideas. It has a wide variety of portraits in various mediums. I felt it was a good art investment.

A reader from Laredo, Texas,
By Cristina Hernandez (Laredo, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of Portrait Painting (Hardcover)
I really enjoyed the book, especially the portrait on page 132, since it is me in the painting. It brought me a lot of happiness to see my portrait in this magnificent book. Special thanks to the artist, my very good friend Tom Joyce. I hope you read this message so you will know that you are very special and talented person...love, Cristina
