This the 1st piece done after 20 years of being away from this series. I had shot the references for this much earlier but it did not come together in my mind till I came back to it. The explanation of this piece; The figure is holding the heart in one hand and looking up in a gesture of confusion. The heart (metaphorically) operates in a illogical and sometimes unexplainable way. How we do certain things and love things as a matter of the heart do not always make practical sense. This is a high quality Giclee print on canvas, varnished, stretched on "1.5 inches deep frame, hand signed.
I am a photo realist painter that works with acrylics on canvas. My primary focus is on the Urban Landscape; Chicago / European. My compositions are usually ambitious and involve a lot of detail and information. Although a typical painting will take up to 150 hours, they are very rewarding when completed. This is the type of artwork I love and am drawn to.
