I finally finished Portrait No. 19! The painting of Larry Walker is completed! I finished the painting on April 25, 2026.
I’m excited to share that I’ve completed the oil portrait painting of Larry Walker as part of my ongoing “The Black Male Artist Professor Series,” honoring another legendary artist and professor whose influence spans generations. This oil painting is number 19 of 25 within the series. I have already finished numbers 20, 21, and 22, so there are only 3 paintings left to complete in the series.

Larry Walker is widely respected for his expressive mixed-media artwork and his lifelong dedication to teaching art at the college level. His mentorship has positively impacted countless artists, and he is also the father of the world-renowned artist Kara Walker ( @kara_walker_official on Instagram), whose bold creative voice has been nurtured, in part, under his guidance.
Stay tuned as the final three paintings are finalized —honoring Black male artist-professors whose legacy continue to inspire generations.
