No More Portraits Under Pressure

 

Moved to a different photo. Still doesn’t look like him. Time to paint some flowers or trees.

  1. Yeah, this one works, Greeta. Compelling expression and atmospheric background.

  2. It may not look exactly like the photo, but it's a fine painting. These sepia value studies are one of your best series yet. And I totally understand the desire to get back to something simple like a nice landscape or still life when portraiture gets frustrating.

  3. Take out that dark cloud above his head and you have a beautiful portrait! Very expressive features and I love the shadows on his shirt and neck.

    1. That’s a tree and too late to get rid of it. It went to Brooklyn.
