MR. FREEMAN



An 18"x24" portrait of Morgan Freeman - because he has a great face, because I want to hone my portrait painting skills, and because I recently read where his career didn't get serious recognition until he was fifty... there's hope for me yet.

* the photo I used as reference for this painting was lifted from the internet, and, in no way, do I take credit for it; I believe it was a Rolling Stone magazine cover a few years back.

To me, Morgan's face is one that is instantly recognizable, and always welcome to come upon.

A friend of mine made a movie featuring him, called "Prom Night in Mississippi" which I greatly recommend seeing.

It's about dear Mr. Freeman's offer, in years very recent, to a high school in his home town, to please, please have their first racially integrated high school prom, with him picking up the tab.

The film tracks the journeys of many students--each one unforgettable, as they make there way toward that historic event.
