The Portrait Series.
T.M.Straus develops portraits in the time of social media. Straus has said, “I am chasing the pleasure of seeing a person speak.” The portraits are inspired by the Secessionist school, contour drawing is expressive. Perspective is exaggerated. Many layers of oil pastel and acrylics creates texture.
Straus is currently accepting private commissions for portraits.
