“Engaging”

These paintings represent the indescribable look of the depth of an individual.
They are all from real people.
I paint with the hope of an “Engaging” experience; someone you can gaze at who in turn gazes back at you. man, woman, child. The “Love” that is within each of us, the “Love” that needs more exposure in these trying times.
I hope that each of these images stirs something inside of you.  Something that makes your heart swell, something that makes it hard to look away.
Stay.
Enjoy.
Escape with them.
Even if it is just for a little while.
