Thanks to all who visited (and bought paintings!) during Art Crawl this year. It was a very successful weekend for me, for which I am extremely grateful. It means so much to me that so many of you appreciate my work enough to want to hang it on your walls so you can look at it all the time!
I’m now focusing on keeping up my pace in creating my ‘Facing 70’ series of portraits. I am slightly ahead of my goal, having completed #35 yesterday, a week ahead of schedule. I expect to complete all 70 by my 71st birthday next May, if I can continue at this rate. I am enjoying the process a lot, and learning with each new face I complete.
Here’s #35. My good friend Lorraine remarked that the ‘young Italian man’ I requested from Midjourney looked like a gigolo! So I chose a scarlet background to suggest a bordello, and glammed up his scarf a little. Fun!
