Graphite Drawing and Acrylic Painting Portraits

Graphite on paper and acrylic painting, oil on canvas.

American Artist Michael Shapcott drew and painted all of the art you see on this page.

So many animals accompany the people depicted in these pictures.  Every depiction comes in twin appearances.  One using pencil and the other one using paint.  The first two are connected to each other, but the rest are positioned one above the other.

The girl with the wolf is my favourite.  Both expressions speak a lot.  It's a whisper though.  The words are so softly spoken, I can't really discern their meaning.  Following the same steps of that analogy, it's difficult to put words to describe these expressions.  Whatever they are, they are both converging their looks towards each other.

I like the colour changes in the hair of the girl, as does the fur in the almost white canine...

Subtle looks seem to rest on each one of the faces below.  A good chance to allow the art to speak to you and reveal its meaning...
