"Philippe Gilain"20x30", oil on board
November 2006
SOLD
This is one of the family portraits I was commissioned that kick-started my career. It took close to 50 leisurely hours. I went about painting it in the same fashion as the Igor piece but over many sessions and the paint sometimes dried in between. I had browsed my grand-parents photo album for good shots of them. The picture I chose is from their 25th anniversary surprise celebration in the late 70s. I scanned the photo and worked next to my computer screen on an easel that once belonged to my step-mom's mother, she was a great abstract painter. The thing's got magical powers., no doubt about it.
