Corporate portrait




I just finished this corporate portrait. Sometimes you make a portrait, which just comes out in one flow of paint and brushstrokes, this is one of those and I enjoyed working on it very much.

This portrait is gorgeous! I love how there is a gentleness to it. He must work for one of the truly great corps. At least we know that whoever made the decision to commission you for this portrait is a very wise person.

Beautiful portrait, Bianca! Very fine work in all aspects: drawing, colour, and refreshing, energetic brushwork.

Congratulations!

Bianca,

This is such an excellent portrait! There is so much life and confidence both in your own style and in your portrayal of the subject. The melding of your usual palette with the dark, dignified corporate look is extremely eye-catching.

Bianca, this is beautiful. It is always such a challenge to depict someone in a business suit and make them look warm and human. His face and eyes are so expressive and full of intensity.

Hi Bianca,

I saw this earlier when I was too busy to write, but reminded myself to go back and say how much I like this portrait. Distinguished work. The brushwork is in the spirit of Frans Hals - Kudos on a fine work!
