This is a oil on canvas portrait of my grandson Ryan. It was painted from a digital photo I took at Ryan's home. I took many reference photos at various locations to get an image that I wanted to paint. I prefer to include the space that surrounds the person I paint. John
Several years ago I created over thirty portraits of inductees to the Civil Rights Walk of Fame , for a traveling exhibit sponsored by Anheuser -Busch. This is the portrait I painted of inductee Dick Gregory. John Dyess
