Painting and drawing was a major part of my life as a child but dissapeared during my teens and through my life as an adult working fulltime in the corporate world. The awakening came one day at the office when I realized that I had to return to art, quit and took a partime job. I began classes at a local art league and painting at home.
Another awakening arrived when I had my first intimate encounter with a dairy cow. Then there was the interview with Temple Grandin...no more eating these beautiful creatures or anything with a mother. My goal is to depict these non-human animals as the sentient, beautiful beings that they are. That's it.
always love your "shadow side" colors and the way they make the warm side pop.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cris!
DeleteGustav is handsome...I like your background, the light hitting his forehead and colors. Are you going to paint him again? Maybe a larger canvas? K
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kay. I will tell him that you think he's hot and yes, I plan to paint a larger portrait of this boy!
