This kinda depresses me.
I personally hope there is a niche for everyone. I know this is the gallery for the traditional portrait painter, as it says up top, but I constantly wonder where the modern equivalent of the genre sort of art fits. I mean, the women in the garb of their day - the straw boaters and the men in white linen of the turn of the other century equate to the tee shirts of today.
I hope to find a place in that casual day to day imagry. Still not denting an income off my people, I am trying to show more of a "who" they are than a "what" they are.
This is a progress piece of a young man going to the culinary institute. I think his tshirt belies his attitude about himself and his future but it is the pose that gives him dignity.
(I fully understand that if I set myself on this path and work with integrity and determination I will end up SOMEWHERE, but am I taking the hard way?)
