Matt and His Portrait


Last Wednesday was a Vet Art Project "mini performance/ exhibit" at the Chicago Cultural Center. There were performances by some of the best actors in Chicago theater, as well as the Veterans whose stories they performed. I took along four of my "Portrait of American Veterans Project" oil paintings. As you can see by the photo Matt Ping was pleased with his portrait. I too was quite satisfied to find the likeness was how I intended. This was amazing!
