Le Grand Renaud, oil on canvas, 5"x 7"

A present for my friend , actually painted from a photo taken during a memorable get together in France...

Marcel Franquelin: "Art is illusion" I have always been fascinated by the visual impact that comes from the works of the Masters; their paintings are magic, bringing you "elsewhere", way past the simple surface of a canvas. I was trained very traditionally at "Les Beaux-Arts" in France, and spent my life studying and teaching art. I understand that realism is not about the truth, but rather the illusion of the truth: paint strokes, along with a well thought palette will bring magic to the viewers, making them want to touch the illusion of a three dimensional object, wonder about the life-like vision of a portrait I do not not intend to shock, shake or upset anyone looking at my work, I do not seek stardom, I just share my visual interests and my passion for the arts.
