Portrait of My Son, Jake

Portrait of Jake (acrylic and spray paint on 16"x16" panel)

Artist, Illustrator: John Potter - Escape Key Graphics

For this painting I used acrylic spray paint and acrylics on a 16"x16" wood panel. I had already done another version of this painting but I gave that one to my son and wanted one for this series. I experimented with the colors, textures and smoother surface than the previous painting. This is the fifth in a series of paintings I'm producing on my own as a passion project. Photography doesn't do them full justice. This is by design. I hope you can see them in person some day.
