A portrait of my high school art teacher. My intent was not only to depict him then and now but to portray the evolution of my work from then to now as well.
I'm shipping this portrait off to my art teacher today - along with a heartfelt Thank You that is 30 years overdue. Shhh....it's a secret. ;)
