6X6 Oil on Ampersand Gessobord
Empty/full is this month's challenge by Jean Townsend in Some Texas Artists Like to Paint. I thought I would do something a little different and take a saying and apply it to a person and what better person for "full of empty promises" than Bernie Madoff. I found his mugshot on the internet and painted. I'm not a portrait painter and so, not only the subject was a challenge, but also what I chose to paint. Please visit Some Texas Artists Like to Paint to see what others in our group did .... they're fantastic!
Wonderful painting- You are so good to participate and do lots of challenges. I think helps grow as an artist. Good for you:)
ReplyDeleteVery clever Linda! Plus you did very well on this portrait.
ReplyDeleteEven with out the explanation, the title and the portrait said it all Linda, clever thoughts!
ReplyDeletePriceless Linda - really great!
ReplyDeleteLinda,
ReplyDeleteThis is freaking me out. I have this same picture of Bernie and was going to do a painting from it and you beat me to it. Wonderful and with a message to boot! Great job!
