Hard Times, 2011


Hard Times 2011
Watercolor on Paper
12" x 9"
2011 Wanda M. Spangler-Warren

This is Tom, who I painted (in a short 1 1/2 hour session) on Wednesday at The Associated Artists of Butler County's Wednesday Portrait Group. When I was looking at this that afternoon, I just wanted to give poor Tom a hug!   He really wasn't this worried on Wednesday.  I just seem to end up with my portraits all having either worried or angry expressions.   Perhaps I'm only projecting my inner turmoil.  Most likely I just need lots more practice!  This is watercolor on Kilimanjaro 140# Cold Press, 12" x 9".

Thanks, Jill. I do like the fact that he looks real and has some deep emotion.
