The French Coal Miner and the Coal Miner

The French Coal Miner

 

The Coal Miner

The top portrait is before I uploaded it into photoshop.  The second one is after photoshop magic.  I guess the second one looks like he has had a hard day in the mines.

Raymond's Brother

 

Raymond's Brother

This is Raymond, the Fashionista’s brother.  He does not quite understand Raymond’s interest in fashion but he loves his brother and knows he is one of a kind even though they are different.  Hey, isn’t that what it is all about, accepting differences?

Aging Jockey

Aging Jockey

 

I do not know how this works but my brain just comes up with these ideas.  When I finished this portrait I thought the guy looked like he was an aging jockey.  Maybe it is his shirt.  Anyway that is what I thought and I am sticking to it. :-)

Narcos

Narcos

 This guy seems to be involved in something shifty, perhaps he is a drug lord.  Anyway he reminds me of some characters on the series Narcos.

The Politician

The Politician

 The Politician is just like a car salesman.  I won’t be buying from him any time soon.

Gertrude

Gertrude

In my head she is Gertrude Stein.  Doing female portraits is difficult for some reason.  So I am going to challenge myself to do more of them and maybe they will become easier. 

B-Ball Player

B-Ball Player

 Just looking at the B-Ball Player I think he is quite tall.  Why is that?  Is it because his face seems elongated?    Is it a stereotyped look?  Is it his shirt because it might look like it is athletic wear?  Hmm?
