Close ups
Thank you everyone for your kind words. Sometimes it's difficult to judge your own painting and I appreciate the comments. He is at a great age to paint. We are being swamped with college ads and the view of him looking forward seemed to fit.
I have attached some close ups. Some of the under painting of Transparent Red Oxide and Phthalo Green is showing through. I would normally paint up to the face but the red helped pop out the green light. It also worked as the soft edge of the wayward hair. I am also working on my paint application. I don't think I use it to the best advantage to show the form.
It is true that I work in a different mode on these paintings verses commissions. It would be nice to bring the same energy to them.
Elizabeth, you will have to paint your daughter too:-)
Maybe we can set something up......
