Modern Art Commentary

Very wise words from Andy Rooney. Definitely worth two minutes and fifty-seven seconds of your time.

Portrait of Aidan

Below is the latest portrait I delivered. I vary my approach from painting to painting, but when I'm doing a portrait, I really like to make a fairly tight drawing on the canvas. Tight is, of course, relative. In this case, it's not highly detailed, but it has all the information I need to paint from. Sometimes I work on a toned canvas, but for this painting I decided to work on a white canvas.
