About CJFox Since 1887In the late 19th century Europen immigrants traveled to the United States to seek a better life. From the fading photographs - last links to the families they left behind - a fellow immigrant, Charles J. Fox, painted likenessess in oil to preserve the memory of their loved ones. As his work became well known, commissions increased to include renderings of prominent governmental, corporate, and academic leaders. Trained by his father, who continued to work in the fashion established by his grandfather, artist James A. Fox signs all work CJFox which represents the richly stylistic tradition of bringing eminent Americans to life on canvas. In American landmarks from the U.S. Supreme Court, state capitols, and "first family" homes, to museum walls, corporate boardrooms, and the hallowed halls of universities across the country, CJFox portraits have become the standard. Our Commitment Created from photographs supplied by the client, a CJFox oil portrait captures the likeness and spirit of the subject without the inconvenience of live sittings, and allows for the possibility of a surprise presentation. Portrait size and detail influence the cost of the painting. To satisfy the requirements of each client, prices are submitted on an individual basis. A preliminary sketch, the beginning of the portrait, illustrates the subject's face and hands and is presented to the client for comment before proceeding to the finished portrait. Completed portraits are subject to client approval, and are without obligation unless that approval is granted. |
