"Richard" oil on masonite 6x6"


It wasn't until I set them side by side that I realized the mammoth differences between this portrait and the last one. Everything about this was light. Interesting; Richard is NOT a small "light" fellow. Much like my son, he is barrel chested and much a man's man. However, he is thoughtful and intense in his work. It doesn't matter if it is cooking, casting, making wine or working on his property.

Fabulous portraiture...

I read that downloading your photos was a horrible experience. Is it the software or just figuring out the steps?

I've a little Panasonic digital and all I do is plug in and follow the "wizard" instructions. If I'd had to figure it out, I'd have thrown the computer out the window.

You really captured the values and color in the flesh tones.
