Kinsey

This is Rimfire's Kinsey Millhone JH WC, affectionately known as Kinsey. This portrait was commissioned by a friend of mine several years ago. Kinsey has since left us but her memory still lives on.

This portrait is done in acrylics and gauche. The realism is something that I work very hard to create. Acrylics allow for layer upon layer of colour and detail that other mediums cannot duplicate.

In this particular portrait you will notice that Kinsey is looking out of the side of her eye with a wary glance. If you knew Kinsey, you would know that this look was "classic" Kinsey.

My aim is not to not only produce a painting, but to capture the attitude and essence of the subject. I felt that I was able to do this with Kinsey and am very proud of this painting.
