Description of Ol’ Blue Eyes

I had the hardest time getting a good photo of this piece, so this image doesn’t quite do the original work justice.
The blue in the background, right around his eye level, is included for obvious reasons. When I think of Frank, I think of the bright lights of Vegas and booze consumption in cozy lounges, so I tried to kind of implement in the background colors that might bring that to mind (golds, oranges, yellows). As for the portrait itself, I really struggled with whether to use black and white in an effort to conjure images of classic movies, or to further the “blue” theme and use a vibrant blue. Completely indecisive, I just did a little of both. I ended up with a slate gray scheme that I think is really pleasing and plays exceptionally well with the background colors.
