Thnx podcast interviewed me about my artwork

So it all started when Rand Mintzer bought a couple of my artworks. Aside from being an attorney, he hosts a feel-good podcast called THNX.

Donald Trump

I painted this one of Donald Trump this week to mark the occasion of his arraignment in court. Although I’ve never been a fan of the former President, I can’t help but feel sorry for him. So I depicted him as looking melancholic. Perhaps he’s wondering why he ever bothered?

Acrylic Painting from start to finish.

I previously posted digital paintings in this style. But I really wanted to prove to myself that I could still paint like this in acrylics.

After a layer of Gesso, I painted a coating of black acrylic
I added streaks of blue
I like the way the shadows created geometric shapes
I added teal
Mixed up some green. I later added a really light gray and then added black.
Got so much into it that there’s no more intermediate stages shown.
After painting the person, I added the broken umbrella as an afterthought. Adding a touch of red to the hat. I figured the painting needed a small touch of red.
