The Philosopher

Portrait of Chris
acrylic mixed media
on 16 x 20 wrapped canvas

Finally!  It seems like I have been working on this painting forever!  This is #3 in my series of 4 family portraits - my son, the philosopher.


All the background details of this painting reflect that - like this definition of the word "philosopher" and this window, open to things as yet unknown.


As you have probably noticed by now, I'm not an assembly-line artist!  In case you've forgotten what the first two portraits look like, here they are:

Portrait of Katrina

self-portrait

I'm really, really happy with how these three paintings look together.  And it won't take as long for me to finish the next painting.  I promise!  I've been working on the painting of "the big guy" already, and it's coming along nicely.
