Oil on 7x5 canvas panel.
This is my contribution to this week's WDE at Wet Canvas. Patricia was the super host this week who provided a bunch of great photos! This is her brother who lives in Colorado. He looks as if he were right from a scene in Hollywood for a western movie....but he's the real deal!! He had great poise and facial expression in the picture. Perfect casting.

This was painted on a toned canvas. A favorite ploy of mine. Much of the background is the acrylic tone.
C&C welcome. Thanks for looking and taking time to comment!

I agree, he does look familiar and how great a personality! I love the reflected warm light on his face. A favorite for sure!

DeletePortraits always seem to put more pressure on me. But I like when they come out ok.
What an interesting little portrait study, Dean. You've captured a lot in a small space.
