This is a painting for a co-worker, who gave it to her boyfriend as a gift. We work in a large office and our jobs don’t intersect too much, so when I offered to paint her portrait we had to set up a meeting after work. The preparatory sketches were done in a study room at the University Library. I then made this acrylic/watercolor painting based on my initial studies.

About:

Feralo is the creative portfolio of Noah Spahn. Spahn is a painter with degree in Studio Arts from Biola University, a deep interest in several marked periods of Art History, and Artists ranging from Caravaggio to Immendorf.

His work is typically a veiled glimpse into some facet of his current musings. The mediums used vary as much as their application, whilst the human form is generally the vehicle. Themes may include transcendental aesthetics or the rejection of visceral urges amidst the complexities of commonplace social environs. He has also been known to produce the occasional 'automatic painting', the interpretation of which probably lies in the realm of his unconscious.

During his 25 year career as an Artist, Spahn has worked as a commissioned limner, 3D modeler, architectural draftsman, aerosol muralist, portraitist, graphic designer, creative consultant and advertising director.
