This portrait was actually started about a year and a half ago, but the project moved slowly. The gentleman is the president of a local university.

Here are a few closeups and a picture with him.

Julie,

Big congratulations, Julie, on a fine portrait! I don't know whether you had a chance to do any painting from life, but his face has a mobility and expressiveness that does not come straight from a photo.

That's a nice unveiling photo, too.

Thanks, Debra and Alex. No, I didn't have the opportunity to paint from life because he is a very busy man.

Congratulations, Julie. It turned out fabulous. I too, just love the presentation photo, it really shows off the painting and you can REALLy see the likeness.
