Portrait of Robin Williams, a figurative realist painting series called “Icons” that celebrates incredible people on this Earth – from everyday heroes to cultural icons. The collection examines those who inspire us to feel, and to think about life. I truly feel the sadness in Robin’s eyes and that moved me to paint his portrait. This painting is a black and white portrait with only the background and eyes having color.

One of the things I really liked is how there are different kinds of fish in this social shoal. It’s always better to go from darkness to light when you have friends to make the journey with. Upon closer inspection, there is a lot of metallic silver and gold that glimmer in different viewing angles.
