Artist's Comments

One of the four hundred missing children I have painted.

Daily Deviation

Given 2008-06-14

*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)

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.
