Daphne, Wow. The more I see of your work, the more awed I am of your talent. Did your father sit for this painting? or did you paint from a photograph? Your shallow depth of field evokes the feeling of a photograph. The light in his eyes is too specific to be imagined, it can only have really been as you have painted it. Wow.
Hi Chris!
Thanks for your kind words! I usually never paint from a photograph because I love to paint from real life all the time. However, in this situation, I loved this picture so much of my dad that I wanted to paint it. I kind of added a bit of my own “shunna say qua” (please excuse my dreadful French) to it to make it seem more like him. One of the reasons I used a photograph was because he was unavailable as a subject because I was living in Holland at the time and he was all the way in California. I missed him and I decided to paint this as a present for him. When he received it, he said he loved it. He always had it hanging in the living room of his house. After he passed away, I hung it in my house to remind me of him. I even still have his hat in the picture, which he always wore, and I hung it on the corner of the painting. How’s
your painting going?
