"There are never ending styles and approaches in the art of portrait painting. To me the defining element in portraits is how the hair is approached and rendered. The hair sets the portrait's tone and is the prime indicator on how the artist wants the portrait to be seen and understood. Regarding these three portraits, there is the queenly faced portrait with water waves in her hair, there is red head with sculptured red hair and finally the girl with long sculptured blue tresses. These examples clearly show how the portrait is defined by the hair. Ed Morales"
