Progress On A New Portrait

Work in progress, Portrait of My Father (Prof. Ronald Prinn, Dir. Center for Global Change Science, M.I.T.), oil on linen.

I have started a new oil portrait. Here I am showing the underpainting, followed by the grisaille layers, and lastly the first layers of colour, keeping with a limited, earthy palette focused on the warm vs. the cool.

These works are an exploration of philosophical theory and their relevance and perhaps importance in today's modern world. There is a humanistic element to them and a deep interest in the various constructs of society and human behavior. Imbued with symbolic notations, allegorical characters and cascading movement, I hope to inspire analysis on these subjects while also instilling a sense of beauty and fantasy.

For inquiries about available original works and prices, please email me @ carolinprinn@gmail.com

Limited Edition Prints of the works (Ed. of 30) are available through my website.
