Bert on the Porch 2

Bert on the Porch 2, oil, 12 x 9, $325

Day 3…and 3 paintings of Bert…probably have to find another subject tomorrow. It was late enough that he ditched the head gear and I got him to look up long enough to paint his eyes open for this one again. I went larger so I could expand my study of the features. He complained that it looks like he has a moustache…well, that’s because he does! although admittedly it’s not all that pronounced. I like the green background giving it a tropical feel…and the palm trees don’t hurt that either. Wish I could just paint him every day for the 30 days…to make up for all the time I’ve wanted to paint him and haven’t but it’s too hard to paint at night, too hard to see color.
