Peter Vandenberge, 30" x 36" oil on linen
This is the portrait of the sculptor Peter Vandenberge. He is Dutch, born in the island of Java, hence the background. The face and figure were painted from life in 7 sittings of about 2 hours each. The shirt and background were painted between sittings. I used elements of a Javanese batik to compose the background. Peter is grand grand grand...grandson of the Dutch painter Jan Steen.

Dear Deladier,
This is a stunningly beautiful iconic portrait! I hope you are about to post closeups of every corner and detail for us to study, admire, and learn from.
Kudos to you for another arresting portrait!

Not really sure what to say other than "wow".

Hi Deladier,
I always love to see your work and I admire those direct strokes. You must have a sign over your easel: "No Noodling Around!"
I really lilke the flamboyant drama of this painting and (as always) I wonder how you get these confident long brushstrokes. Do you use a medium?

Hi, Linda. Hi, Chris. Hi, Garth. How are you? No medium. Just a little walnut oil. I am trying to use less and less of it. It seems that the more you mix in the palette, the harder it is...
