Portrait Painting Series
Besides being a musical and overall genius, Michael is my brother and it was a true joy to paint him in the studio last week.
For the first time in these 2 hour sessions, I felt like pulling out a full sized canvas.
Going big in only 2 hours is not easy, but something about Michael’s elegance and intelligence called for it. He is a generally well dressed guy, but it’s not for any outward validation. I admire how Michael knows who he is cares so much to express it in every facet of his life.
Infact, Michael is so comfortable in himself that he came up with this pose naturally. He also came up with the title:
“Man with boot”
When I saw the shine on his Chelsea boot I hat to stop the clock. I did a few thick globs of white and got that perfect shine.
I like how universal this title feels even though Michael is very special to me. Maybe it means we can all be a little more like Michael.
Please be sure to check out his music here:
