Young Bernie Sanders
I have wanted to do this portrait for months, and not just for his old school cool look and feel. Bernie Sanders is the most consistent and authentic politician I’ve known in my lifetime. This portrait is based on a 1971 photo by Frank Kochman. Bernie was at the Vermont Freeman, an authority challenging newspaper.
I decided to paint the portrait in oils, my favorite medium. I went heavy on the mineral spirits, giving it a cool charcoal look and allowing his authenticity to shine through.
