Portrait of a Hipster with a Handlebar Mustache and a Beard (A Sarcastic Bearded Bloke), 12x16 inches oil on canvas panel by Kenney Mencher

I'm a big fan of portrait painting in the vein of John Singer Sargent and Malcom Liepke. Often I find pictures of characters on the web and make quick alla prima portraits of people with cool or interesting faces.

("Alla Prima" Also known as ‘direct painting’, ‘au premier coup’ or occasionally mistakenly as ‘wet-on-wet’, alla prima is a one-layer painting technique in which the painting (usually painted from life) is completed in one sitting or while the paint is still wet.)

I particularly like to paint men and men with facial hair: I like "beardos."

Warning these are the only sites authorized to sell my art:
