"Considering the Apology"- after an original image by Ronald Rockmanby degillett
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!
