A break from the 49 portraits. This is “Archie”, a painting for Nancy, who received it as a surprise birthday present.

This one has much more paint than most others in series. I was getting tighter as time went on and had to loosen up again. The beginning of these loose ones are wild and unpredictable but if I trust myself that it’s the same judgements I am making, then no matter the brushstroke, the result will satisfy just the same.
