John and His Family
2022
acrylic on canvas
30 x 30 inches
The first time I painted four people and a dog was in 2013 with this group portrait. The different feel of the John’s family and Robin’s has less to do with the people portrayed and more to do with my understanding of multi-subject portraits—an understanding that I honed via this family portrait.
