Artist's Comment

I've always wanted to do a formal portrait digitally, where a life model would sit for multiple sittings in order to have a painting completed. Relying on photographs is too convenient, too easy, and disconnects the painter from the subject. We've all done it, and we all know that it just doesn't feel as authentic as working from life. With the popularity of the digital medium surging, a lot of "con artists" started to multiply at an astounding rate. These "fake digital Sargents" as Craig Mullins once referred to them as, would smudge photos or perform other fraudulent acts, but make it look "painted"...etc. My motivation for doing this formal portrait was in a way, my act of protesting against these frauds. I wanted to do it the way a portrait was meant to be done--traditional, with the sitter in front of you, and interacting with the sitter.

Beautiful portrait, the hands and elegant arms are difficult to do, they correspond to muscles and sinews drawn in correct form, I congratulate him on his work.
