We are different people on different days, artist as well as painting model. Sometimes, what's going on for us inside shows outside. Other times, superficial details appear more significant. Everyone has their idiosyncrasies-and magic. Capturing these is important to me. I don't usually start with a plan, just focus on the features I find the most intriguing at the time of painting, and go from there. Often, it's not necessary to include a whole face or figure to capture the essence of the person. An eye and ear, in some cases, may be just enough-the aim is to please/accentuate the positive. My portraits don't follow a particular style, convention, or genre, and are a little more "serious' than whimsical (unlike my other artwork). I also have a penchant for depicting animalkind.
