Painting
Healthy Skeptic
18 x 18 x 1 in.
When I start a new portrait, I work to establish a faithful depiction of my subject first, through careful sketching and underpainting, paying close attention to the underlying bone structure, musculature and proportion. Then, with my choices of color, texture, brushwork, and some intuition, I try to go beyond, to capture a sense of the subject’s inner self as well.
A finished painting conveys a likeness, but hopefully also a presence; when you look at it, you might feel it is looking back at you.
