Pendant portraits finished, for Class Act series

Jay L. Chaplain and writer

I finished a portrait of another colleague as part of my #classact series highlighting the environments of exceptional teachers that I have worked with. Jay no longer works at the school but he contacted me with an interest for the commission when he saw his wife Julie's painting that I did last fall. It was fun working the two images to relate to each other across the distance of two frames. Incidentally it seems this style of portraiture, (painting a couple in a pair of pendant frames),was invented by great grandad Lucas Cranach the elder back in the 1500's!
