Nice idea...I like the faded Regan, sadly, it seems to portray him too well.
ReplyDeleteI do too. It is a beautiful beautiful portrait, that really captures what seems to have been going on with Reagan. It's tragic, and the person does seem to just fade away. The suit is still there--and solid--but the man.....Wow.
ReplyDeleteRichard, this is so beautifully portrayed and a very unique, original interpretation for Fade. I love the subdued palette and movement of the washes. The way you created the transparency is terrific.
ReplyDeleteIt was so sad watching his descent from the leader of the most powerful nation on earth to a soul with no connection with reality.
Great answer for "faded"! I think one thing everyone can agree on about Reagan is that he did put a face on Alzheimer's and bring more attention to the disease.
ReplyDeleteI like the massiveness of the suit and the way you captured Reagan's posture.I love the hues and tones in the suit as well
ReplyDeleteThe fading of the person is thoughtfully handled...it is almost as if he unaware of his diminishing presence.
I think at some point his being unaware of diminishing may have just been the case...
Delete.
I really like the contrast between the simplicity of the power suit and the complicated intricate "political" drawing of the face and hands. I agree that the slow subtle fade is right on.
