Daddy

Daddy (Oil on Canvas Portrait by Juliane Porter) Click Image for a Better, Larger View

He’s my hero.  And an award winning NASA physicist.  A phenomenal pianist AND clarinetist.  He did handsprings in the backyard with me when I was a teenager.  He knows how to ballroom dance.  He’s elegant & graceful.  Kind and philosophical.  He’s even more handsome than I’ve been able to capture- (as a young man, a spitting image of Penn Badgley).  He’s incredibly witty and fun.

And I love him with all my heart.

This painting is about mood.  About the love and energy my father exudes.  It's a quick gestural piece.  I'll be doing a large head-to-toe portrait of him next.
