Oldivad
25x19 Pastel on Paper
Waiting for Oils to dry on my oil painting at 1 am CT; decided to do a portrait to kill time since I can't sleep tonight. I got the photo off from Maree Jolleau's artist statement. Total duration is 4 hours. Hope y'all like it.

Artist Statement
for Oldivad
for Oldivad
Artist's Statement:
(portrait of my wife, Faith ===>)
When I paint a person (from photo or in person) or an object, I don't try to replicate every physical detail. Instead, I attempt to capture what that person or the object projects. It maybe a pose, costume, smile, stillness or moment of silence. The main intention is not only achieve a likeness of the person or object, but to also capture a moment or essence about he/her or the object that tells a story, or in some way engages the viewer’s imagination. Pencil and Charcoal sketching, along with Oil, Watercolor and Pastel painting, were a large part of my life throughout high school and college years beside Computer Science.
Self taught.
(Anyone interests a pastel portrait to be done by me, please contact OLDIVAD@OLDIVAD.COM)
