Daddy

This is a sort of warm-up experiment in portraiture. I did it in less than a day. I think I'd like to refine this way of painting a tad. 'Tis quite loud and vulgar.

    Thanks Marlo!

    I like it too. It looks so vibrant! And the twinkle in his eye (it could be a reflection on the glasses, but I see it as a twinkle) makes him look quite mischievous.

    Thanks Julie!

    He don't like it.

    The 'twinkle' is scratched in with an etching needle.

    this is great! yes, you should do more. so much energy and craziness but still lots of structure. fun. i wish i had more courage with my paintings.
