A portrait must be more than simply a likeness of the subject, it must convey personality and character. And beyond that it must be a work of art in its own right, fulfilling my belief that art is defined as the metaphors with which we share our unique experience with the world. The artist discovers the subject through the filters of his or her own life, to the point where the process of creation is a dialogue with the suibject. (Sal Mineo, oil, 16x12")
