Will Bryan

8

This was a portrait assignment from college. The subject is my son-in-law, Will Bryan. He was seated in our darkened basement, watching TV. I had a light illuminating his face. Notice the light highlights contrasted by the dark background. This is a very good representation of him. I was very free with the colors. I let go with my emotions. My professor really liked this portrait. Now, thirteen years later, he is a CPA. The painting is displayed in his home office.

I have always loved this one. The mood is created by the light and I love the looseness of the brush strokes.

Tom,

That is a wonderful portrait.

It has, and will stand the test of time.

I do feel that you give magic to your portrayal. It is one of my favorites of your portraits.

No wonder your professor liked this – it’s incredible!

This is better than most portraits I see. It has more of a realness to it, rather than a mask of the person. I did 2 portrits this week: one is terrible and I’ve already torn the second one in half. HA!!!!! I won’t get better by not doing it.
