Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins Oil on 16"x20" gessobord (Dec. 30, 2021) A personal study, and a gift to my wife. (We were both big fans of the original 'Dark Shadows' in the late '60's). 🙂 🙂 I was trying to create a more detailed portrait of Jonathan Frid as Barnabas Collins of "Dark Shadows" based on the portrait that hung in the mansion when Barnabas made his first appearance in 1967. The original prop portrait was done with a producer in 1770's costume siting in prior to the actor being hired for the part. Jonathan's face was added later, resulting in the head shape not exactly matching the actor. I thought I'd give a try at making a more realistic portrait to match the actors actual head shape.

A personal study, and gift to wife.
(tried to get head more accurate).

(The original portrait used a producer in 1770's garb, prior to actor hired. Frid added later, so head shape was off).

A young lady seated on a green blanket in a dorm study nook in front of a mirror. Wearing a blue silk night gown, sits writing a letter to her young airman serving his country in the Korean War. A dorm mate walks in and offers to take a photo to send along with the letter... Inspired by a photo my mother sent to my father while he served in the US Air Force during the Korean War. I took some artistic liberty and added my father's high school graduation photo taped to the mirror.

Along with the happy dogs, I wanted to do the park justice.
