One of my biggest inspirations and my favourite artist, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, died on Tuesday. He had brain cancer so I guess it wasn't unlikely but I was still shocked- his voice was so powerful, and he himself so physically striking that I couldn't imagine his becoming sick or weak. I'd been hoping to see him in concert sometime, since a recording of good opera singing is only a shadow of the real thing.
I've been meaning to paint him for a while, but I guess his death was the kick up the ass that prompted me to actually start. I'm gonna finish it properly, so for now this is a wip.
