the good dad
this is actually a painting of my husband with 4 mice on him. it should have been five; one to represent each of our kids :) truly he's the best dad--do you know anyone like that? so patient.
I painted this in 2024 when I was beginning to explore portraiture--my first dip into the "wild faces" collection. The bold colors are symbolic of all of the layers + depth and parts of us that no one ever sees. There is so much more to you than what is surface level.
This is an acrylic painting on sketchbook paper -9x12". These sketchbook paintings occasionally have extra marks on the page (front or back) that let you know they were painted by a real person in a sketchbook :)
please note I do my absolute best to make the photos match the real-life paintings, but it is a challenge with my vibrant color palette! Most of the time, paintings look much more vibrant in real life, but just be aware that there may be discrepancies between what you see on screen and the actual product.
