Dad (2006)




Oil on canvas (16" x 20")

A painting from a photo executed for my mother on the anniversary
of my father's passing. I was surprised at how the artistic process
took over from the emotional reaction while I was painting this -
I was able to see it as a work of art without being overwhelmed by
the personal associations. I compare it with the first portrait I
ever did and am pleased to see that I have learned many things and
am developing my own style.
