Art and Painting

With the advent of the camera, one great art that is dwindling is the art of making portraits. Even 50 years ago one could see a portrait artist making a portrait of ones grandfather in his study. The portrait artists are highly skilled and the work requires hours of meticulous work. The final outcome of many such portraits can be seen stacked in the attic or in store rooms. But these works of art stand the test of time and hopefully will be back in vogue once again. The art is slowly dying away with only a few well places artists indulging in portraits in their leisure.
