This portrait was based on a photograph I took of an old architectural element known as a grotesque, which is a stone carving or terra cotta face, rather than the full head and body of a gargoyle. This particular grotesque resides on the front of the Camlin Hotel in Seattle, Washington. I took the photograph, opened it in Photoshop, manipulated and exaggerated the colors, then took a printout of the image to use as reference in painting the face. I made changes to the colors, forms, and shadows as I painted, breathing life into the old monochromatic stone face. It also stands as an homage to the skilled craftsmen and artisans that created these forms - most often without any recognition.
