Artist's Comments

One of the four hundred missing children I have painted.
Daily Deviation, 2008-06-14

Daily Deviation*johnpaulthornton's gallery is filled with the lost children of this world. His impressionistic style really portrays the ephemeral faces that fill our junk mail and milk cartons. Missing Child portrait 9 is just one of the many haunting portraits of children lost, but not forgotten. (Suggested by =Inveiglement and Featured by ^oilsoaked)

wow...i am overwhelmed by the color and light in this one. you create such depth and texture...i could just eat it. how thick does it get? and is it acrylic or oil or another? gorgeous. i could study this for hours <3
Thanks for the very kind comments and feedback.

It's all oil on canvas.
Palette knife.
A zillion layers. ( Well, forty or so...)

Thin glazes at the end to enhance colors and unify values.

The lights are quite thick.
