Jeremy Lipking has been awarded the Best Of Show in the Portrait Society of America’s 2006 International Portrait Competition.
A quote from his bio reveals:
Born in Santa Monica, California in 1975, Lipking is a fourth-generation California artist and the son of Ronald Lipking, an advertising designer, children´s book illustrator and landscape painter.
It was the years he spent from 1996 to 1999 at the California Art Institute, which enabled him to make a tremendous leap as an artist. His instructors taught him to look at the world differently….
Following his studies at the institute, he embarked on an intensive self-directed effort to improve his paintings, closely examining the works of artists he most admired: John Singer Sargent, Spanish plein-air painter Joaquin Sorolla, and Swedish artist Anders Zorn, among others
He is so much more than a portrait painter, however.

Don’t forget to look at Jeremy’s bookshelf, it’s a good read in itself.

This is just too much to handle. Makes you want to go home, lock yourself in a cupboard and weep. Born in 75? Sheesh!
That makes him 31 now, which is a pretty good age for some expertise to creep into his work!
I feel like snapping my brushes over my knee every time I see Neil Ross’s work, too.
