This week I finished another family portrait.
Is this a realistic painting or a caricature? I discuss in the video below.
Character is the most important element that I try to represent in paintings. But unlike the connotation of caricature, my paintings do not mock the subject. They celebrate the individuality of the people portrayed. Maybe if people were less prone to the anti-etymological fallacy then I could safely call my portraits caricatures.
For now I will just say the painting is a character-based representation.
