Intensity With Resolve Painting by Ken Claes

Painting: Oil, Latex on Canvas.

The eighth painting within a new body of work exploring portraiture's many emotive expressions while searching for the essence of the sitters "voice" in an interpretive painting technique.My sketchbook provides several images for inspiration and ideas, as do more formal images from photography, and direct observation with the public. Much of my work is seeking a new expressive definition of portraiture with a 21st century "look".
