PAST LIFE PORTAITS
Missy Reno Smith can see her clients as they looked in their past lives during past life explorations and as an artist she can also paint portraits of these past life images. Since this type of portrait is typically commissioned, you will not likely find any Past Life Portraits for sale as originals or prints in Missy’s Art Shop. Missy posts some of her Past Life Portraits here as examples. You can sign up for Missy’s Art Commission Wait List if you would like her to paint a Past Life Portrait of you.

This commissioned watercolor portrait, completed in late 2021, depicts collector Ericka, as she looked in one of her past lives. Both digital and traditional watercolor paint mediums were used to create this painting.
This was a very short life in Japan for the collector some three hundred years ago. Some might say it was tragic even since she lived to be only 22 years old. However, Missy saw her as a young woman that lived without fear and filled her 22 years with many experiences. Ericka got exactly what she needed from that life and then she simply moved on.

This Mixed-Media portrait on canvas, completed in April of 2021, depicts collector Angela as she appeared in a past life hundreds of years ago. Both digital and traditional paint mediums were used to create this painting.
This portrait represents something that was quite common at the time but is downright illegal today. As an English girl named Anne, collector Angela was betrothed/promised to a grown man when she was just nine years old. The marriage didn’t take place until she was closer to 15 or 16 years old but this was still far too young.
Missy didn’t want to create a typical wedding portrait of a bride and groom. Instead, she focused on a brief moment that told this story better than any other could. After the ceremony and celebration, Anne’s new lady’s maid was to dress her in her nightgown before the wedding party would “put the couple to bed”. Sad and scared, when the maid reached for her cape, Anne grabbed hold of it and held on tightly. It was a brief but powerful protest and her last opportunity to tell someone, anyone, that she wasn’t okay with what was happening to her.
