Poe Me!

Normally, I don't go in for doing too many portraits as uncommissioned samples. I did recently with my little series of colonialist/imperialists but I'm not about to paint Hilary Clinton without commission any more than I am to do something about Mutual Funds for myself. BUT I DO HAVE A POE! I did it as a classroom demo about 2 years ago in Detroit. Shawn Barber was visiting my class that day so we did a little painting contest-demo right in front of the students. I did Jim Morrison, Popeye and Poe while Shawn painted Ray Charles. Makes sense, huh?
