Do I know you??
I did this painting titled "Portrait". It's sort of strange in that it is quite difficult to decide if it's male or female,young or old. Just recognizable as a person. With no identity.
People in certain pictures have unmistakable identities even when you haven't seen them in fifty years

Faces are always interesting. Like your grandad's smile. I like children portraits.
ReplyDeleteRobert, how I agree with you. When on my daily subway rides I am fascinated by the faces that surround me. I have no need of an electronic device for diversion!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you! xo
I think I recognize some of these people....
ReplyDeleteGreat post, that photo of your grandfather is so rich, and the resemblance clear! Really like the portraits you are doing these days, Robert, original and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteA mighty impressive array of portraits. So varied and unique. Love the shot of your grandfather - that is priceless.
