David Marcet's beginning painting classes at Benedictine University are set with an arduous task: to create a colossal self-portrait. Ugh. To see oneself in the mirror may be hard enough, but to draw and then paint a self-portrait that is not only descriptive, but also captures the students' personality is a challenge, indeed. Marcet's classes show they are up to the challenge, and the exhibit of portraits currently shown on the first floor of Kindlon Hall - north side, are some fine paintings.I will post them here for you to see. Some make me chuckle, some make me smile along with the person in the portrait. But they all engage the viewer with their fresh color and scale. Kudos to Marcet and his class. We look forward to seeing what these students will produce in the future.
