Mark Taber

Busy month here, but while I've got a minute, here is another portrait from the weekly model session I attend. This is painist, Mark Taber, and he was a lot of fun to paint.
I found some videos of Mark playing with a few bands on youtube. I'm not sure what year this was filmed, but here is a video of Mark playing with the Ken Lyon & Tombstone Blues Band, Mark's solo begins at about the 1:35 minute mark. And here is a write up of Mark in the Providence Phoenix.

Oil, 20 x 16 inches

  3. Thanks Dipintoma and Ryan! It's an MDF panel Ryan, covered in acrylic gesso, applied with a roller.

  4. Thanks! I'll have to try MDF out. What thickness are you working with? Also paint roller seems like a good idea I've been gessoing canvas with a large brush and it take a while to get a good coat!
