Study of Uncle Barney
What in the world was I thinking? The photo reference was 3”x 5” photo of my family. The photo was damaged. It was a photo of my grandfather’s first and only visit to NYC. It was only of the first photo restoration painting that I completed. My uncle was in the back. It was difficult to make out his features so a magnifying glass was used to make out his features. Thanks to the magnifying glass, I noticed that his eyes were closed. This study, helped painting process. It was extra work but it was worth it. (Note to self: never, never rely on a photo no smaller than 1/4” wide!!)
