Description
When my first son, Marcus, was born, I switched mediums for painting. I used to do mostly oils. Now that I had an active little boy, I didn't want to have a bunch of wet paintings around. Nor did I want to be concerned about toxic materials and ingredients such as turpentine and oil paints. This was my first serious attempt at using acrylic. I found it to be a different way of painting. I found that the way acrylic paints dry darker than when they are wet to be a bit daunting. I liked the way that it dried so quickly a nice attribute. I had always worked in layers. It just went much faster with acrylics. I used a palette knife for the textures on the wall.
Marcus was only a few months old when I did this portrait. It was the first of many that I have done all his life. He quickly became used to the fact that he was my favorite subject. I have lost track of all the many paintings I have done of him. Of course, I thought him to be the prettiest baby in the world.
I hoped to show his happy continence as he crawled around on the carpet exploring the world.
