On July 13, 2007, the largest portrait I’ve painted recently was completed.

A 22×28 oil painting on prepared panel, Guienne Hanover represented many challenges. It is a painting of a moment in time, rather than a traditional portrait. As such, it included a full landscape and architectural features.

The painting was completed using a variation on the seven-step Flemish technique beginning with a detailed drawing and included an under painting, color glazing and the final application of details.

A step-by-step demonstration for the portrait of Guienne Hanover is now available in the Demonstration page.
