I have always liked
doing figurative
works. And
particularly enjoy
the
challenge of
creating on canvas
the likeness
of a person with as
much of the
character
and expression of
life as possible.
It is not my
intention to copy a
photograph.
I believe each
portrait is a unique
expression
of the artist and
the person
portrayed.
A note from the
artist..
Old World Quality
Careful workmanship
is apparent in each
painting. The
texture, color, and
handling
speak of a quality
which was once
expected
but has now become
uncommon in today’s
world. These
artistic elements as
well as the
antiquing processes
used yield the
resultant
refinement and
quality of the
finished portrait.
The term
Nouveau-Fresco
denotes a renewal
of an old technique.
True Fresco was done
by
the ancients on wet
plaster using only a
limited
range of color and
had to be done at
the precise
moment of drying for
the process to be
successful.
But today, thanks to
the use of modern
materials
such as acrylics,
problems such as
this are solved
and the permanency
of the work is
assured.
