The Unfinished Portrait Of FDR

December 4, 2008 | Filed Under illustration | No Comments

Here is another painting from my digital painting class.  I did this one entirely with digital watercolor (except for the linework).  Took about 6 hours.  Our assignment was a narrative painting having something/anything to do with World War II.  This painting depicts Franklin Delano Roosevelt just before his death on April 12, 1945.  He was having his portrait painted during lunch one day when he suffered a massive cerebral hemorrhage.  He died later that day.  The portrait was never finished.
