An Aetheric Collection Celebrities and Icons

Portraits AND READABILITY
The work is intentionally attractive, magnetic,
even beautiful. I do not want to do battle with
the portrait. I can paint portraits, but portraits
rarely ‘get’ the totality of an individual.
Portraits have their own set of battles.
Photographic portraits fit more in line with our
understanding of the image of a person.
My true intent is to move the viewer to
consideration of the aura pure of the individual
and for the viewer, to be able to really enjoy
that process.
Elton John and
David Furnish
aura pure
– oil on canvas,
gold leaf,
60 x 90 cm, 2015.
An Iconic British
couple. I met Elton
twice; when he was
both very shy and
humble and then as
‘rocket man’ full of
bravado on stage.
I wondered what the
aetheric energies
of this couple would
look like.
A golden background
just seemed right.
