I was not actually trying to paint Dustin Hoffman as Tootsie, but as I worked and re-worked this face, it kept feeling masculine instead of feminine. I still haven't decided what I think, or whether this will remain as is, but for now it exists and I moved on to something new. What is it that makes women's delicate features so much more difficult to reproduce than a man's roughness?

Portrait of Hemingway

Picture of the Day
Portrait of Hemingway
Acrylic on illustration board, 10"x 13"

The funny thing of this picture is that when I finished, it reminded me of Stacy Keach. Then I noticed after having this thought that the audio book of Hemingway's short stories (which I was basing the portrait on) was read by Mr. Keach and if made me wonder if maybe he read the audio book because he liked Hemingway based on the fact that he resembled the man. It was a funny thought.
