Daddy
Daddy (Oil on Canvas Portrait by Juliane Porter) Click Image for a Better, Larger View
He’s my hero. And an award winning NASA physicist. A phenomenal pianist AND clarinetist. He did handsprings in the backyard with me when I was a teenager. He knows how to ballroom dance. He’s elegant & graceful. Kind and philosophical. He’s even more handsome than I’ve been able to capture- (as a young man, a spitting image of Penn Badgley). He’s incredibly witty and fun.
And I love him with all my heart.
This painting is about mood. About the love and energy my father exudes. It's a quick gestural piece. I'll be doing a large head-to-toe portrait of him next.
I don’t know your dad but he sounds like a great man. Love the potrait!
Thuli, Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it! It was a great experience to paint & put into words how I feel about my dad. Thank you for visiting & please stop back soon:) xo
