Portrait of M.

This is a portrait of M. During a visit in an Arboretum Neuenkoop near Brake near Bremen, I could take the picture above. Because M. is a large plant lover and works with plants, he embraced here a beautiful young Sequoia. The light and shadows are pure chance. But the richness of it has encouraged me to this portrait ... ..

   This is a painting on a wooden panel. This panel  includes a primer that I had somewhat isolated. Here upon I set  a monochome oil underpainting in a blue-gray color. The overpainting is done in oil and topped with glaces.

Here is the underpainting just when I started the top layer....  Measures 30 cm x 40 cm.

An earlier portrait I painted of M. is depicted here. Of the two paintings only this one belongs to the Serie 2012MEN.    It is painted on a wooden panel.
