Thanks Michele.
This is a commissioned portrait. Your question couldn't make me happier.- it's been my goal to make portraits that blur the lines between portrait and figurative, but it's rare to have a client who allows their kids' portrait have the faces de-emphasized like this
I think portraits that have a figurative quality like this stand a better chance to stay out of the family attic in future.
And maybe even have a chance to be simply apprceciated as fine art someday....!
