ANGER. I’ve really enjoyed crafting this one- channeling all the aspects of anger into this portrait... talk about therapeutic!! I envision this guy being the advocate- the don’t-mess-with-my-kids Dad, the protector. The guy who faces danger head on with the most focused fierce energy you’ve ever seen. This is what he stands for in the midst of this HUGE emotion. What does it speak to you? How do you connect with him? 12x12 pastel on Pastelmat mounted on cradled birch panel. #gorilla #papabear #anger #justice #rage #protector #art #hyperrealism #realism #popart #original #yyc #kristenyoungart #wildlifeart #pastel #carbothello #fabercastell #pittpastel #panpastel

Working with what you have... even when the reference photo is burry, and the details are hazy at-best, I’ve been pushing myself to envision the detail and create the definition i cannot see. It’s super challenging, but I’m starting to see it pay off! #wip #wipart #dogportrait #petportrait #petportraitartist #art #originalart #buylocal #yyc #art #artist #lovedogs #dowhatyoulove
