My Grandpa

[Jean Kelly]

Jeremiah,

I keep coming back to this. How did you come up with this image of your Grandpa? He looks larger than life, there must be a story in here. Oh, and I like it!

Thank you all very much.

I took the reference photo at a recent funeral for my nephew. The church had pretty interesting lighting. In this one, there were at least two light sources and he was standing more near to one light so it was more intense on that side. It was a fun challenge.

He is a very wise man. He's been a father to me my whole life. The painting is now hanging in his living room.

Great job on this piece. Modeling is very well done both on the face and the clothing. Congratulations.

Great powerful work. I love the quality of the light, and how you kept the whole portrait on a harmony of cool light.

Thank you all again for looking at my work.

I should have done this before but just now getting around to posting a detailed image of the face.
