The Plasterers
Here's one of my latest portraits, of a father-son team of ornamental plasterers. I had approached them about a year ago, saying I would like to paint their portrait against a backdrop of old, mottled plaster, showing some kind of work they were doing. A few months ago the son called me and said he'd been thinking about the portrait, and they had a good setup for it, and to meet them the next day at their job. It was their last day on the job so I had to work fast. The painting shows an almost completed ornamental cornice behind them. Oil on linen, 66" x 40".
