Michael Caine

Michael Caine

—February, 2004
I hadn't painted anything for a few month before beginning this portrait of Michael Caine. I was really drifting away from painting and obsessing over my illness when I found this black and white photo in a magazine. I thought I could do something with this portrait in color. All of my oil paint remained inaccessible in a storage facility and I decided to buy some jars of acrylic paint and see if I had it in me to work the acrylics like my oils. It started me think about making paintings again and less about my illness.
