The Mark 3000


Now that I've finished the painting for the portrait project on the Different Strokes blog, I can reveal who it is. The subject is fellow artist Mark Bridges. I call it "The Mark 3000" because it seems like the 3000th version that I've painted. This is oil on an 8" x 10" gallery-wrapped canvas. I hope he has a sense of humor. Click here to see his portrait of me.

  5. Marianne, your soft rendering with such subtle color shadings is a real coup, congratulations. I see your style really evolving in a cool way (I looked at all your work here), and you're finding a great voice. Inspiring!
