Gerry Creates the Winds

I really didn't intend to deify Gerry as I seem to have ended up doing in this portrait. Suffice to say he visually fits the archetype of the wise old man as described by Carl Jung, so the wispy brush stokes seem to place him directly in the realm of cloud-sitters.

Gerry, Oil, 20 x 16 inches

Click here for an earlier portrait of Gerry, it's nice to see improvement over time.
