Portrait of an Artist

Jim Frederick, Artist

I decided to kick of my Portrait Of The Artist series with a man I met at an art show last year. Jim’s work includes a wide range of styles, but I particularly liked his paintings that were dizzying combinations of vivid colors.

My concept was to illustrate the artist as he is about to create. He sits in front of a blank canvas with the art inside his head – ready to be transfered to the canvas.

I was thrilled with how it turned out and think it will be an excellent start to my series.
