Portraits

People are easily drawn into portraits; it is a genre that just about everyone can relate to. In addition to my interest representing the personality and character of the individual in my painting, I am also compelled with the tried and true approach to art making of painting. I find that I can communicate the messages I need to through that media while still presenting an important and unique addition to the current art world. My works are recognizable in shape and form as portraits, but I approach them by juxtaposing a wide variety of hard-edged colored geometric and organic shapes that form the very specific and important individual. I create the works I do simply because of my relationships with the individual. My portrait paintings are of my friends and family, people I enjoy surrounding myself with.

Sketches that have been given away are WONDERFUL ways to brighten someones day and begin a conversation or to simply leave them scratching their heads. Here are just a few. They all got uploaded in one quick setting so… the details about them are on the drawing itself. If you see you… thanks for looking!

  2. Hi Frank
    Its nice to find a fellow portrait artist on the web – I love your paintings, you have a very special style that is strikingly different from the main stream styles. I’m still stuck in the past with my traditional charcoal sketches but I’m learning a lot from guys like you, just not brave enough to tackle something new.
    I’ll go brows your site – thanks

    Your portraits are SO awesome. Thank you for inspiring me to continue my art, no matter how busy I may or may not be with my summer and college coming up. I hope to be as experienced as you some day!
    Sincerely,
    Victoria Krueger, class of 2012 😀
