Portrait, Lefty Oil on Canvas




The concept of this painting was to attempt to capture in paint the personality and spirituality of this fellow.  How do you capture personality and spirituality?  It is a matter of bringing the paintbrush out one day at a time, and I am grateful for how well it turned out, and I thank Janice Hindes for her suggestions.  It is a "cheese smile," but it is Lefty's cheese smile.  I wanted to capture a representation of a spiritual person so that I and others can remember those qualities that he had and to be inspired.  Perhaps this is exactly what all portrait artists want to do.
