Portrait of the Old Man as an Artist

[John Zeissig]

Hi Mary,

Well, I'm a new portrait artist too. Yes, I find glasses, windows, any glass or transparent surface to be difficult subject matter. You've got all the stuff behind the surface plus the broad reflections, specular highlights etc. from the surface. It can be very treacherous. I'm still working things out on a case by case basis.

Thanks for your kind welcome!
