Oil Paintings (the goal for this project is 50 paintings)

The Portraits

These are paintings of writers and poets, explorers and musicians, those who stay current in spite of passing time. The paintings were done using old black and white photographs and were kept that way. These are sketches, impressions that were inspired by the words these people say and deeds they did.
