Commentary

“The eyes on a Larned canvas meet the viewer to reveal a distinct persona and a divinely created soul. Those eyes, they are the handshake, the embrace, the greeting, the invitation to know the model. Clearly, Larned’s works evolve from a passion for painting, innate skill, and finely honed technique that emphatically demonstrate the power of portraiture.”
