Here's my latest Literary Portrait...Mr. F. Scott Fitzgerald! Part of my Writers Portrait Series.

Title: "This Side of Fitzgerald"
F.Scott Fitzgerald is considered to be one of the greatest American writers of the 20th Century...and one of my literary heroes. He wrote of youth, love and despair and showed his audience a whole new way of thinking. His own life was a bit of turmoil which he shared a bit in his own stories.
He is best known for works the "Great Gatsby", The Beautiful and Damned" "Tender is the Night" and "This Side of Paradise" as well as many short stories. As a reader, Fitzgerald opened my eyes to the incredible hidden world of the 1920's. He will always be an inspiration to me and I am so happy to paint his portrait.
I hope you all like him!
