“Coming out isn’t something you do once. It’s often in stages that grow in risk… to your friends and your community, your family, an over-expanding, never-ending act of bravery.”
Jonathan Majors has become one of my favourite actors over the last couple of years and he has such a wonderful face, he was a total joy to paint.
He’s best known for his roles in The Harder They Fall and Loki but if you haven’t seen his film, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, I can’t recommend it enough! It’s a special gem of a movie.
Painted on Procreate in oils and charcoal on linen canvas.
