This was painted about two weeks ago of my husband! I didn't really name it "Salty Man of the Sea" but it does seem fitting. He is a boat captain and he does look a little salty in this painting! He kindly sat for me in our home for about 2.5 or 3 hours (20 minutes with short breaks) so I could paint him. I'm pretty happy with it though the bright spot light was in his eyes a little too much and I did not realize he was squinting!
Wow this is wonderful! He's a handsome guy and the strong modeling with his white hair gives it real drama.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary, this is the first portrait I did after coming back from the workshop I took. I was in Max Ginsberg's portrait class. I feel I really learned a lot. I took a class last year form Romel de la Torre and that gave me a different portrait perspective. So having two has really helped me to figure out this challenging subject matter!
DeleteBrilliant portrait Susan. As Mary said, he is handsome. Love his White Beard. I would love to have one but my wife would kill me. All the best Susan.

Hi Vic, Oh that's funny. I won't let my husband shave his off! Thank you for your comments!
