100 Power Portraits / Client: Chief Investment Officer magazine

I painted 100 portraits of the world's most powerful asset owners for CIO magazine. I took on this project initially because of the challenge. The challenge to improve my portrait skills, explore new color palettes and hopefully to find a gestural/loose direction. After about the 99th portrait, I actually felt that my eye-hand coordination was on automatic drive and my brush was moving effortlessly. Here are 27 of the 100 portraits.
