We are different people on different days; artist
as well as painting-sitter. Sometimes what's going on shows outside.
Other times, superficial details seem more significant. Everyone
has personality, and capturing it is important to me. Most of the
faces and figures I create do resemble the individuals to whom they
belong, even when they turn out somewhat caricaturish. I don't have
a plan when I start off, just enhance the features to which I'm
initially drawn and go from there.
(Please Note: The yellow copyright
signature on the paintings is superimposed and doesn't exist on
the originals. Also, the original artwork's colors are a little
different from in the gallery scans: vibrancy, crispness, or tone
might have been lost. Images are displayed in the order they were
created.)
