Richard
"Richard," is a painting made by oil and mixed media on canvas, 30"x40." It ia a portrait of a man named Richard, done in unrealistic colors with collage elements.n The bright colors around his head are meant to show his aura and energy in paint. His face is done in cool with areas of warm colors. The areas of warm colors try to portray areas of heat and emotion emanating from his face. There are some areas of paint dripping because I like the effect and to imitate tears. In both of his eyes are two different kind of collaged flowers. There is a rainbow and a butterfly in his hair. In his hair, there are different areas of collaged elements to add to and enhance different areas of colors. The portrait is supposed to represent his soul, and be mystical.
