Original artwork description:

This portrait is a study of a handsome dark haired man painted in a restrained, subtle palette. I wanted to evoke a soft haze as though viewing the subject through the distance of time.

The background was created by layering transparent glazes which created an effect reminiscent of weathered and faded denim with a very glossy surface. It's an unusual, textured surface without being too dominant.

"A Distant Memory", 12"x9" oil on stretched canvas, unframed, signed lower right.

Original art, hand painted by me, Pat Kelley
