Historic Portraits

Each work in this ongoing series is painted from old, mostly black and white photographs. Done in oil on specialty paper or linen, all slightly different.  They range in size from 9" x 11" to 18" x 24", and, though decidedly impressionistic, vary in style according to my experience of the characters through their contributions to culture. In their own way, I believe each of these people was "before their time" and made a lasting impression on our collective psyche.   










Unframed prints available for USD 12 each.

Little Portrait of Nikola Tesla
