Portraits
Below are six main stages in building a portrait from the imagination. Creation of this work involved assuming the impact of four light sources on every object in the painting. Inspiration for this 36" x 36" oil titled "Love V" came from my Haiku below. A mirror image of the words in this poem are scratched into the painting.
Love of a mother, Given from depths unbounded, Heart forever true. Stage I
