"Louise"
20" x 30" Acrylic on board












I did this portrait of my great-aunt in the quest to focus on evoking a mood, and telling a story through portraiture, as well as just for the sheer pleasure of going back to my photorealism roots. Portraiture has always been one of my first loves, and I always jump at the chance to do it when the opportunity arises. Hope you enjoy.

    Sometimes I think Andrea uses that secret Elven Magic... kinda like the way Keebler Cookies are made.

    Great stuff.
