“Washington- early 40’sI love this for a number of set reasons. I’ve been trying to escape the generic digital feel to my work and I think I’m slowly getting there. I've read so much on him, that I feel like I could paint his actual character. I can’t say how or why this was made, only that it feels right.I’ve also been wanting to do a portrait of Washington for almost 4 years now, but have been too intimidated to get it wrong. That sounds silly, I know, but I’m just so sick of all the classical paintings of him as an aged man with animal teeth. He wasn’t always that way.” BEAUTIFUL portrait! Maybe looks a little younger than 40 though. (And of course he wouldn’t be in this uniform) -- source link
