WILEY HENRY: VISUAL ARTIST
The Portrait Gallery
A portrait is a likeness, representation or depiction of a person that's painted, drawn or photographed with the explicit purpose of capturing that person's mood, character, personality and, if possible, the enigmatic soul. The following rich, colorful, realistic and aesthetically beautiful oil portraits are examples of my innate ability to bring a work of art to life -- or to replicate life itself.
