Posthumous
This was a long distance commission from a husband wanting to give his wife the portrait of her last year gone father as a birthday gift. The client didn't have too many reference photos, and the ones he provided me by email were taken with flash.
I took the job anyway and tried to show the old man with a happy appearance leaving a message like "you know I am OK" to his daughter. Might have worked, because today I've got a quite emotional phone call. Achieved.
Oil, 30cm x 40cm.
