My Jan Lievens Study
I did this portrait for several reasons, not the least of which is that I love it.
But I did take a few liberties, dialing up the chiaroscuro and altering colours.
Mainly I've been battling the heat and humidity with my other projects, so decided to park myself in front of a fan and paint something.
Acrylic on canvas. About 30.5" x 26.5" incl.frame
Update: I have decided to keep this one for the time-being.
It may be up for sale again one day.(?)

Those Winter Sundays
And put his clothes on in the blue black cold,
Then with cracked hands that ached
from labour in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.
I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, He'd call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house.
Speaking indifferently to him,
who had drawn out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love's austere and lonely offices?
- Robert Hayden (1913 - 1980)
Pharmacy cupboard

a small glazed pharmacy cupboard in dark, warm grey.
So there.
Seriously though, I do have a LOT in the works, and will be posting that soon.
Oliver's Twist
I had planned on going to an antiques show this morning, but before I left I happened upon Oliver Gustav , and was so inspired that I promptly emailed him and instead hit the studio like a man possessed.
