In this portrait by George Rhyn, we see an older man, in a red shirt, on a complimentary green background. The artist fills the whole canvas with his girth, putting his large belly right in the middle focus. Even the sitter seems puzzled as to the attention he is getting. He might think he is an ordinary Canadian, but George Rhyn has given him star quality, by meticulously painting every detail about him on a very large canvas and, leaving the artwork for posterity.
