Brian found this long haired gentleman for the meet-up that night. My color palette was influenced by the earth tones of the woods where he forages his life. John, my framer, had made this frame and we both thought it echoed the calm educated but homey feeling and style. The frame is warm tone with golden gilt finish that makes a great presentation for the painting. The painting is signed on the lower right corner. Overall, it measures 22.5 inches tall by 18.5 inches wide. While not a famous person, you know his visage will start a conversation int he ski lodge. What will you call him? There is something about a portrait to enhance the mood of room, add mystery, drama and excitement. Don't you agree?
