BRYAN HAYNES

The portrait of Darcy began with the collection of reference photographs of the pose, piano, parakeet and other things dear to her. Next was to arrange all in a composition that gave the feel of her wonderful character. She is a beautiful person of grace and sophistication. She also grew up in Illinois in a very rural setting. I really wanted to work within a square format, so divided the space in a way that I hoped would make a solid and satisfying design, lending the sense of grace and sophistication. Once she approved the sketch, I moved to a very crude color indication of how I wanted the color masses to be arranged.
