Study of Mr. K

6"x4" oil on raymar panel. This wonderful gentleman is a good friend with a strong association to my family. As a matter of fact, I believe he may be the only non-family member, that I know of, who has known all four of us Raymonds. That's right, there are four of us on the books; two passed and two living. (We punish long and hard in our clan.) Anyway, Mr. K has a great look—I could do a whole show's worth of paintings of just him and I just might. Yes, that was a threat (he would love me using him as a threat and then be upset when I tell you he is one of the nicest people I know). This little portrait was actually painted a while ago and I just got around to showing it to you. It contains a bunch of little experiments (hues and temperatures) and I need it for future reference.
