Mark

I found a Canvas 24 x 48 in my studio building, it had a 3/4 portrait on it and I thought I would try painting one of my own, I've always liked the 3/4 and even the full length format as used by Whistler and others but I' feel like I could only make the face interesting, I wondered how to make the rest of the body interesting.....so I thought of my friend Mark, he has been HIV positive since the mid 1980's and very out and proud of that. I've also been looking at the paintings of Elvira Bach lately and I love how she paints bodies.......
