I was commissioned to do portraits with only two colors in the style of the iconic Red and black painting of Che Quevara. My client was from South America and she wanted a portrait of Che only she wanted it to show him laughing. She said he was a person who laughed too. The painting was quite large. It was 4 ft x 4 ft. and his face filled the canvas. She wanted one of Jackie Kennedy done the same way. I did hers on a 3 ft x 3 ft canvas.

The paintings worked so I did a few more. It was a challenge and I liked the results. I love challenges.

I will probably post them sometime.
