"Eyes art the soul of portraiture, the prime communication between the artist and those who view his work." The superior vision of the artist "must see and feel and understand as opposed to those who merely glimpse but do not really see." - Arshile Gorky
These are my progeny. A whole population of indivdual characters born in paint and yet all just me. With each new birth I realize another piece of my personal puzzle. Creating a painting and watching it magically come to life is such a joyous imitation of the Creator - the celebration of life. And there is no end to this work. I can paint until I drop and still not exhaust the infinite possibilities - such is the wonder of painting. Include in this small sample of portraits are: "Lady Agnew" (after Singer Sargent); "Yury"; "Kay"; "Concierge" (friendly marmot deep in the High Sierra); "Lavendar Lips"; "Jennifer"; and "Henri Sturgis Drinker" (after Cecilia Beaux). Although these works are available for sale you might prefer to commission a portrait of yourself, a loved one or a cherished pet. If interested just contact me at greg@greghigh.com
