When the National Portrait Gallery reopened, after seven years of renovation, I was thrilled to return. Truth is, I usually bypassed the presidential portraits for more contemporary work - but the new home made me take notice for the first time in years. When browsing the portraits, you will see art history married to political history - John Kennedy painted by Leroy Neiman, Nixon painted by Norman Rockwell, George Washington painted by Gilbert Stuart - and Abraham Lincoln painted by George Healy - an iconic portrait included in my new painting 'Penny For Your Thoughts', now on exhibit at the Morris & Whiteside Galleries.

I am so in awe of your talent and painting theme that you have so clearly established as "yours". Everytime I see one of these paintings I want to run out and visit a gallery or museum! Thanks for sharing your amazing talent!
ReplyDeleteHi Karin,
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how posture can transmit thought. Looking at this painting you immediately wonder what the fellow in the nice blue shirt and casual slacks was thinking. Was it political? Was he wondering what Lincoln was thinking?
Another great painting.
Take care,
Barbara
