Bride 18x24" Acrylic on Canvas $290

This is painting that has been in my mind for over 10 years.  The idea of a bride moving toward Love and Home in a drift of lace and flowers.  Carley, the beautiful bride made this vision a reality. 

Papa 2012 14x18" Acrylic Canvas: Private Collection

I feel that portraits should capture the distinctive features and movements of the subject.  When I paint portraits it is after many filmed interviews during which I come to understand and sense the uniqueness of the individual. In this case, the blank frames in the background reveal that Robert is an artist. His hand moves in thought and the ring on his third finger drifts on frail hands.
