Man with Long Hair

10" x 8" Oil on Panel

When Casey Childs learned that a neighbor of his, a neighbor with particularly long hair, was going to get his hair cut, he hurried to have the long-haired neighbor sit for the weekly portrait session. He sat for us last Thursday, pre-haircut, and this is the oil paint portrait sketch I made of him. It was made with the usual "Zornish" selection of colors: titanium white, yellow ochre, cadmium red and ivory black.
