Description
Portrait of Bob Dylan, 12x16", oil on wood panel. I had five older siblings who shaped my musical taste. Dylan was the first, and still the most memorable, singer-songwriter in my life. Our entire family knew the words to his songs by heart. I don't know who the photographer was who posed a young Dylan in this smart suit and white shirt. In the original photo his hair was shorter. For the face, I used a later photo* of him with tousled hair. His hair, clothes and background are painted with a knife while his face is painted with a brush. I mixed a touch of Prussian blue into the black that is most noticeable in his eyes.
*Comment if you know the name of the photographer so I can the reference.

Art is unquestionably one of the purest and highest elements in human happiness. It trains the mind through the eye, and the eye through the mind. As the sun colours flowers, so does art colour life. -- Congratulations on your recent sale of an amazing work.

Dylan is undoubtedly The greatest songwriter of all time. Genius, Nobel winner. Nice work
PJ Kirk replied:
Thank you, Lance. He's an intimidating subject. Not many photo of young Dylan without sunglasses. Here I imagine him somewhat annoyed at having to stop his creative process in order to accommodate someone else's.
