FULL OF EMPTY PROMISES

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!

  4. Linda,
    This 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!
