Portrait
painting is something I have been doing in my
spare time for a number of years. With all of
the advances in electronics and computers
these days, there are a lot of other options,
but I enjoy doing them the traditional way,
hand-drawn and painted on canvas. I work from
photos sent to me as attachments, or by mail,
but prefer to take the photos myself if
possible, since there is an obvious
connection between what I see, and what I
paint. In photography, I look for simple,
colorful subjects, and it is probably not a
coincidence that most of my portraits have a
similar quality.
