Back to the Painted Portrait





After a full year of concentration on large format black & white portraiture, it's time to put my hand back to portrait painting. I chose to take some time away and work on bringing my "first love" back to the forefront for a season. I'll still be doing an increased amount of Illustrative B&W, but bringing back the paintings. We were selling so many there for awhile, that painting was starting to feel like a job! Well, the demand is present, and I'm really enjoying it again.

I made this one for Governor Mike Huckabee, and I can make a new portrait from older sessions too. If there is an image you'd like to consider creating a painting from - let me know. What a great heirloom addition to your home!
