Portrait of Abraham Lincoln for his 200th Birthday after G.H. 
Storey. I wanted an image to punch up a patriotic shield used on the Monteith House Museum for a celebration of Oregon’s 150th birthday. This is a first attempt at a serious portrait study in color. I didn’t have alot of time to put it together so it’s in acrylic. I like Storey’s style and his unification of color and I learned quite a bit doing it. There are some things I could improve here but the overall look came out well. Looked good on display. I’ve included this image and another in the portrait gallery.
