January Portrait Painting

The cold, isolating winter of this past January influenced this portrait. The ambiguous, expressionless figure framed on the bleak white background was an attempt to capture the way I was feeling facing the long, uneventful phase before Spring arrives. I tend to include warm, inviting colors like pink and red in my work to contrast absolute black and white bleakness of the subject. I use a high gloss varnish to better pop the brush strokes and make the oil paints appear even richer It is on unframed canvas, but ready to hang otherwise. I recommend a floating frame for a shallow canvas like this. It will give it depth and a dramatic border.
