Portrait of New York: Ben

Gentle Ben, oil on linen board, 8"x10", Jessica Libor 2011

This latest piece was done of a friend from New York.  I utilized what I learned from the workshop at the Grand Central Academy, and brought it to life by using my own color scheme and model.  The best models are always friends and people you know well, it seems.  Knowing something of the person’s inner life somehow makes the painting more interesting and detailed.  That is why nearly every painting I have done is of a friend, family member or acquaintance.

This piece is available for purchase.  Please contact me via email at jlibor@jessicalibor.com for inquiries.
