"Considering the Apology"- after an original image by Ronald Rockman
Oil over Acrylic on Linen
1220×606mm
The very talented photographer Ronald Rockman graciously granted me permission to paint from his incredible image no where man .
I have used much texture under the oils- piped and palette knifed on, providing a linear counterpoint to the ironic disenchantment etched on this mans face, and echoed in the palette knife finishing textures in the hair.
Have to let it dry now so I can sign it!
