True Thomas the Storyteller

True Thomas the Storyteller 20x16 Oil/Linen

This was a fun one for me. I hired this gentleman Robert Seutter who plays the persona of "True Thomas de Rhymour, a 13th Century Scottish poet and prophet." He came and sat for me for 4 hours and while I painted away he told me tales of Celtic folklore and sang celtic songs. It was a fantastic experience! He had never sat for anyone before and he did a marvelous job.

This was one of those paintings that has a wonderful memory for me.
Thanks, True!

Enjoy.
Tony

An unmistakable Pro! It's gorgeous, fresh and lush. Haunting color.

Congratulations!

Beautiful Tony!

I love the way you complemented the cool pinks of the skin with the olive tones in the hair.

I like this one, Tony. I think I'd like to know him.
