Portrait Commission

I have been working on a portrait of the former head of the United Mine Workers of America, Sam Church. I am nearly done. The Archivist for the UMWA said that she located me as a portrait artist through my website.

You can see the progress of the portrait on my website. Here is a photo of the nearly complete portrait.

2009 was a particularly busy year for me, with much of the year spent out of town, and I am just getting back to the business of blogging.

If anyone is reading this, please let me know by commenting on this blog. I do plan to continue to post information on color theory as part of the book I’m working on, and I’d like to know if this information is helpful to anyone or if I am just talking to myself. (I don’t actually mind talking to myself. I like myself and I’m a good listener. But I am curious.)
