A Family of Builders

[Clive Fullagar]

This is a commissioned portrait of three generations of builders who were responsibel for constructing a retirement village. It is an oil painting and measures 35 x 50 inches. I have changed the coloring of the original post as it was a little deceptive. It tended to be too yellow- saturated - a problem associated with taking the photgraph using a yellow light.

Another great job Clive!

Congrats on that.

Very nice sense of solidity and space. I do like the yellow! Very good design of the composition. Great wall.

Here are the details again.

My apologies Thomasin,

When I took the digital photograph of the painting I used a yellow halogen light - hence the saturated yellow color. The above is perhaps a more accurate rendition - colorwise. Hope this doesn't change your opinion of the portrait.

Clive, I love this! And your composition is unusual, as usual. These three men have such a palpable presence and personality. That plaid suit is great! Can you talk a little bit about what you went through to arrange them this way, and something about how you developed your concept?

Clive-

Nice work! Great balance, and a real success at capturing the individual personalities.
