Bruce


Bruce really knows how to sit still. Maybe it's because he meditates while he poses. In any case, he's great to paint.
I spent so much time on his face that some other parts of this portrait were a bit rushed. I may go back to the forearms and hands (aargh! those hands!). Also, it seems like the crotch is a bit short, as if it belongs to a smaller person than the upper body. That would be easy to fix. All in all, though, I enjoyed the session and feel happy with the painting.

  1. You really caught Bruce. Not just the way he looks. Good work.

  2. I thought this was an Alice Neel painting at first! It's wonderful! May I ask what media and size this is?
    Thanks,

  3. Thanks, Jana--what a nice compliment! (I love Alice Neel!) The medium is acrylics. The size is 22" wide by 28" tall.
