My love for portrait art began as a child, with john singer sargent's "madame x". more recently, i've been drawn to
vintage portraiture. they're bit more attainable and full of 'provenance'. a few years ago, on ebay, you could pick up some random person's, visage for around 40 dollars.
i love them because they're so full of story. who are these folks?
who felt the need to paint their likeness?
i think that if i ever have a large enough room, or a landing in a house, i would love to curate a collection of these "mugs". hanging them in a group, from floor to ceiling. oh, and btw, these portraits are for sale at the most fabtastic, 'woodson & rummerfield design'--
