Sorrow

I posted a smaller version of this a year ago, though this was actually done first.

Available as a fine art print. Click here for details.

Now and then I enjoy taking on extreme foreshortening of the figure. She really did fall asleep. A fire alarm next door woke her up.

Finally, the portrait of Governor Jennifer Granholm is finished. It still needs to be varnished, put in its frame, and shipped to Lansing. The public unveiling is May 6, and after that I will post an image here of the painting. It has been a great experience for me from start to finish, and I really appreciate how well I was treated by the Governor and her staff.
