Henry James again

[talentedmrraber]

I've decided to take my art to the final frontier: representation. I know, it's so old-fashioned it's like new again!



I did a portrait of Henry James, based on the John Singer Sargent portrait: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f0/James%2C_Henry_%281843-1916%29_-1913-_by_Sargent%2C_John_Singer_%281856-1925%29.jpg/478px-James%2C_Henry_%281843-1916%29_-1913-_by_Sargent%2C_John_Singer_%281856-1925%29.jpg





I included two photos because neither of them really gets the color right. The negative space in his head and collar are pure white canvas.
