Welcome Inquiring Artists Thank you for your interest in LEONLOARDCOMMISSIONEDPORTRAITS (LLCP) and for submitting your portfolio for our review. For over one half century, we have continued to represent some of the nation's finest portrait painters. We are now in our 2nd generation and have aspirations to continue this tradition for another half century or more. The artists we represent only paint in oil and we believe that this special distinction sets our group apart in the broad field of portrait mediums. Having a portrait painted in oil is the epitome of portraiture. The group of artists we represent is intentionally small in contrast to other agencies so we can more personally and effectively represent these distinguished painters. We desire to represent the very best painters in the world who paint portraits in oil. We are currently interested in expanding our group to no more than 30 artists and we have established the following criteria for interested artists to follow. Our Company Officers will carefully review each submitted artist portfolio and contact you if we prefer to see a portrait sample. If we believe that we can effectively represent you to our clients and we can enjoy a mutually beneficial business relationship, we will invite you to join our professional group of artists. Please read all the information listed below before contacting us or submitting a portfolio. Portfolio Review • The DEADLINE for portfolio submission is no later than November
30. Portfolios received after November 30, will be held and reviewed
