Painting, Oil on Canvas
Size: 48 W x 42.1 H x 2.4 D in
I painted several stand-alone portraits in this series, sometimes as studies for larger couple portraits. For instance, I painted a Vincent Van Gogh in yellow. Yellow was Van Gogh’s fetish color, the one he so masterfully painted sunflowers with. I wanted for a long time to paint a yellow Van Gogh; it seemed to be the appropriate color in a spiritual sense. At first, I wanted to use only hues of yellow but I struggled doing that because it didn’t allow me a lot of tonal contrast (every yellow is light). So, I used a dark brown for the hair and beard against which I could play my yellow song and pierce the two sky blue wells of Vincent’s eyes.
