Quick 20 minute demonstration for my adult class.
We started out doing Santa portraits using this bearded man as inspiration.
But I just had to paint him with the red beard.
I will do another Santa demo for the class later.
So now I have to rethink the hat and story.
Maybe a lumberjack.... Any ideas?

Jill, Funny you should pick the 1600's. I got the original photo from a friend who took it at a Renaissance Festival...
You know, this is strange, but for a minute there I pictured him as a surgeon, just come out of the OR with his head scarf on and mask dangling around his neck. Is that too weird? Can't there be a jolly, beautiful surgeon?
Love this Wanda! There certainly can be a jolly, beautiful...
Beautifully painted, Maria!! I do think he has that wonderful...rugged face of a Lumberjack!!! Love this piece!!
