My Brother

Artist Statement: This is a painting of my brother. It means a lot to me because he has autism. He hates pictures of himself or videos of himself, but he said he really liked my painting. I think it is a perfect representation of his personality, very playful and confident. We were at a winter solstice party and the host had paper crowns, fake glasses, and we were playing “Apples to Apples”. I used oil paint, mostly burnt sienna for this painting.
